• These connectors are set to Standard IDE mode by default. 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, set the [Configure SATA as] item in the BIOS to [RAID]. See

section 4.3.6 IDE Configuration on page 4-14 for details.

• For RAID 5, use at least three hard disk drives. For RAID 10, use at least

four hard disk drives. Use two to four Serial ATA hard disk drives for each

RAID 0 or RAID 1 set.
