been removed. This function requires a chassis with a chassis intrusion switch/sensor.
• A RAID 0 or RAID 1 coniguration requires at least two hard drives.
If more than two hard drives are to be used, the total number of
hard drives must be an even number.
• A RAID 5 coniguration requires at least three hard drives. (The
total number of hard drives does not have to be an even number.)
• A RAID 10 coniguration requires four hard drives.

To enable hot-plugging for the SATA ports, refer to Chapter
2, "BIOS Setup," "Peripherals\SATA Coniguration," for more
information.
5) SATA3 0/1/2/3/4/5 (SATA 6Gb/s Connectors)
The SATA connectors conform to SATA 6Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and SATA
1.5Gb/s standard. Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The Intel
®
Chipset supports RAID
0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10. Refer to Chapter 3, "Coniguring SATA Hard Drive(s)," for instructions on
coniguring a RAID array.
