6) IDE (IDE Connector)
The IDE connector supports up to two IDE devices such as hard drives and optical drives. Before attach-
ing the IDE cable, locate the foolproof groove on the connector. If you wish to connect two IDE devices,
remember to set the jumpers and the cabling according to the role of the IDE devices (for example,
master or slave). (For information about configuring master/slave settings for the IDE devices, read the
instructions from the device manufacturers.)
7) SATA2_0/1/2/3/4/5 (SATA 3Gb/s Connectors, Controlled by Q57 Chipset)
The SATA connectors conform to SATA 3Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s
standard. Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The Q57 Chipset supports RAID 0,
RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10. Refer to Chapter 5, "Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s)," for instructions on
configuring a RAID array.
