Intel

P55 Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA 1-6)

These connectors connect to Serial ATA hard disk drives and optical disc drives via

Serial ATA signal cables.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10

configuration with the Intel

Matrix Storage Technology through the onboard Intel

P55

chipset.

• These connectors are set to Standard IDE mode by default. In Standard IDE mode,

you can connect Serial ATA boot/data hard disk drives to these connectors. If you

intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set the

Configure

SATA as

item in the BIOS to [RAID]. Refer to section

3.4.2 Storage Configuration

for

details.

•

Before creating a RAID set, refer to section

4.4 RAID configurations

or the manual

bundled in the motherboard support DVD.

• You must install Windows

XP Service Pack 2 or later versions before using Serial

ATA hard disk drives. The Serial ATA RAID feature is available only if you are using

Windows

XP SP2 or later versions.

• When using hot-plug and NCQ, set the

Configure SATA as

in the BIOS to [AHCI].

Refer to section

3.4.2 Storage Configuration
