4.13 Configure BIOS for Adaptec RAID for Serial ATA on Board
(Supports RAID 0/1 with 2X SATA ports -SATA 1& SATA 2 only,
SATA 3 & SATA 4 not working)
The motherboard supports RAID 0 or 1 for Serial ATA drives through the Intel
®
ICH6R chipset.
The Serial ATA as RAID option must be enabled in the BIOS before the system can load the
Adaptec
®
RAID option ROM code for Intel
®
RAID. The Adaptec
®
RAID option ROM is a
standard PnP (Plug and Play) option ROM that provides a pre-operating system user interface
for the Intel
®
RAID implementation. It also allows the boot order to be selected from within the
BIOS setup utility.

4.13.2 Installing Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks
Installing Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks requires the use of a new SATA data cable (2-
conductor) which supports the Serial ATA protocol and a SATA power cable. Either end of the
SATA data cable can be connected to the SATA hard disk or the SATA connector on the
motherboard.
Note
Ÿ
Both the data and power SATA cables are new cables. You cannot
use older 40-pin 80-conductor IDE or regular IDE power cables with
SATA hard drives.
Ÿ
Carefully follow any technical instructions that come from the hard
disk manufacturer.
Follow the given steps for correct cable installation:
1.
Attach either cable end to the SATA connector on the motherboard.
2.
Attach the other cable end to the SATA hard disk.
