This motherboard adopts NVIDIA
®
nForce 520 chipset that supports Serial ATA
(SATA) / Serial ATAII (SATAII) hard disks and RAID functions. You may install SATA
/ SATAII hard disks on this motherboard for internal storage devices. This section
will guide you to install the SATA / SATAII hard disks.
STEP 1: Install the SATA / SATAII hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis.
STEP 2: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA / SATAII hard disk.
STEP 3: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard’s SATAII
connector.
STEP 4: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the SATA / SATAII hard
disk.
1. If you plan to use RAID 0, RAID 1 or JBOD function, you need to install at
least 2 SATA / SATAII hard disks. If you plan to use RAID 5 function, you
need to install 3 SATA / SATAII hard disks. If you plan to use RAID 0+1
function, you need to install 4 SATA / SATAII hard disks.
2. It is recommended to build RAID on internal SATAII ports. In other
words, if SATAII_RED (PORT 1) is used for eSATAII port, please build
RAID on other SATAII ports. If eSATAII port is enabled, the internal SATAII
ports can only support RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD or RAID 5.
