Intel

®

 H77 Serial ATA 3.0Gb/s connectors (7-pin SATA3G_1~4 [blue])

These connectors connect to Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s hard disk drives and optical drives via 

Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s signal cables.

If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, 1, 5, and 0+1(10) 

configurations with the Intel

®

 Rapid Storage Technology through the onboard Intel

®

 H77 

chipset.

•  These connectors are set to [AHCI] by default. If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID 

set using these connectors, set the 

SATA Mode Selection

 item in the BIOS to [RAID]. 

See section 

2.5.3 SATA Configuration

 for details.

•  Before creating a RAID set, refer to the RAID Supplementary Guide included in the 

folder named Manual in the support DVD.

•  You must install Windows

®

 XP Service Pack 3 or later version before using Serial ATA 

hard disk drives. The Serial ATA RAID feature (RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10) is available only if 

you are using Windows

®

 XP SP3 or later version.

•  When using hot-plug and NCQ, set the

 SATA Mode

 

Selection 

item in the BIOS to 

[AHCI]. See section 

2.5.3 SATA Configuration

 for details.
