Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4)
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard disk
and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3Gb/s is backward compatible with Serial ATA
1.5Gb/s specification. The data transfer rate of the Serial ATA 3Gb/s is faster than the
standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s (Ultra DMA133).
If you install Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1,
RAID 5, and JBOD configurations through the onboard controller.
Install the Windows
®
XP Service Pack 1 before using Serial ATA.
• For detailed instructions on how to configure RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 0+1, RAID 5,
and JBOD, refer to the RAID manual in the support DVD.
• If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set the
