ASUS KFN4-D16 Series
2-29
4. Serial ATA connectors
(4 SATA SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4)
Supported by the NVIDIA
®
CK804 Professional chipset, these
connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard
disk drives that allows up to 3Gb/s of data transfer rate.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0,
RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5, or JBOD configuration. Refer to Chapter 5
for details on how to set up the RAID configurations.
The actual data transfer rate depends on the speed of Serial ATA hard
disks installed.
These connectors are set to SATA by default. In SATA mode, you can
connect Serial ATA boot or data hard disk drives to these connectors.
If you intent to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors,
enable the RAID function of each port from the nVidia RAID Setup
sub-menu item in the BIOS. See section “4.3.5 IDE Configuration” on
page 4-14 for details.
5. CPU, Front and Rear fan connectors
(4-pin CPU_FAN1/2, 3-pin FRNT_FAN1/2,
3-pin REAR_FAN1/2)
The fan connectors support cooling fans of 350mA~2000mA (24
W max.) or a total of 1A~3.48A (41.76 W max.) at +12V. Connect
the fan cables to the fan connectors on the motherboard, making
sure that the black wire of each cable matches the ground pin of the
connector.
