ASUS AP1720-E2 barebone server

7. Serial ATA RAID connectors (7-pin SATA_RAID1, SATA_RAID2)

These Serial ATA connectors support SATA hard disks that you may
configure as a RAID set. Through the onboard Promise

®

PDC20319

RAID controller, you may create a RAID0, RAID1, or RAID0+1
configuration. Configure the onboard device and SATA items in BIOS
to use the RAID feature. Refer to page 5-26 and 5-27 for information.

8. Backplane SMBus connector (6-1 pin BPSMB1)

This connector allows you to connect SMBus (System Management
Bus) devices. Devices communicate with an SMBus host and/or other
SMBus devices using the SMBus interface.
