2. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1–6)
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk
drives.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1,
RAID 0�1, RAID 5, or �BOD configuration with the N�IDIA ® MediaShield™
RAID controller.
• In Standard IDE mode, you can connect Serial ATA boot/data hard disk
drives to these connectors. If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set
using these connectors, enable the [RAID Enabled] item in the BIOS. See
section 4.5.6 Serial-ATA Configuration for details.
• For RAID 5, use at least three hard disk drives. For RAID 0+1, use at least
four hard disk drives. Use two to four Serial ATA hard disk drives for each
RAID 0 or RAID 1 set.
• Before creating a RAID set, refer to 5.4.2 NVIDIA ® RAID configurations or
the manual bundled in the motherboard support DVD.
Connect the right-angle side
of SATA signal cable to SATA

right-angle side of SATA cable to
the onboard SATA port to avoid
mechanical conflict with huge
graphics cards.
