Chapter 1: Product introduction
12. Digital Audio connector (6-1 pin SPDIF_OUT)
This connector is for the S/PDIF audio module to allow digital sound output.
Connect one end of the S/PDIF audio cable to this connector and the other
end to the S/PDIF module.
11. RAID Serial ATA connectors (7-pin PRI_SATA, SEC_SATA)
These Serial ATA connectors support SATA hard disks that you may configure
as a RAID set. Through the onboard Promise
®
PDC20376 RAID controller, you
may create a RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration together with the RAID ATA133
connector. See Chapter 3 for details on RAID configuration.
Important notes on Serial ATA solution:
•
The Serial ATA cable is smaller and more flexible allowing easier routing
inside the chassis. The lower pin count of the Serial ATA cable eliminates
the problem caused by the wide, flat ribbon cables of the Parallel ATA
interface.
•
Hot plug support for Serial ATA drive and connections is not available in
this motherboard.
•
Install Windows
®
XP Service Pack 1 when using Serial ATA.
•
Refer to sections “3.4 VIA RAID Configurations” or “3.5 Promise
®
RAID
Configurations” for details on SATA RAID configuration.
The S/PDIF out module is purchased separately.
