590 SLI Southbridge Serial ATA connectors (7-pin
SATA1 [red], SATA2 [red], SATA3 [red], SATA4 [red], SATA5 [red], SATA6
[red])
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA 3.0
Gb/s hard disk and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s is backward
compatible with Serial ATA 1.5 Gb/s specification.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID
1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5, or JBOD configuration through the onboard NVIDIA
®
MediaShield™ controller.
The RAID function of these connectors is set to [Disabled] by default. If you
intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, enable the RAID
Enabled item in the SATA Configuration sub-menu in the BIOS. See section
“4.4.7 Onboard Device Configuration” for details.
