Serial ATA Hardware and SATA RAID Installation
Unlike IDE bus, each Serial ATA channel can only connect to one SATA hard disk at
a time; there are total two connectors, J16 and J17. The installation of Serial ATA is
simpler and easier than IDE, because SATA hard disk doesn’t require setting up
Master and Slave, which can reduce mistake of hardware installation. All you need
to do is to plug in two cables and enable SATA in System BIOS. (The Serial ATA
hard disk of installation, please see figure 5-10 as a below)
