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 133MB/s (Ultra DMA133).
• Install the Windows
®
XP Service Pack 2 or later versions before using Serial ATA.
• The motherboard does not provide a floppy disk drive connector. You could use a USB
floppy disk drive when installing Windows
®
XP operating system on a hard disk drive
that includes a RAID/AHCI set.
• Due to Windows
®
XP limitation, Windows
®
XP may not recognize the USB floppy disk
drive.
• For more details on RAID/AHCI, refer to the RA ID/AHCI Supplementary Guide included
in the folder named Manual in the support DVD.
