NF590-SLI Southbridge Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1
[blue], SATA2 [blue], SATA3 [blue], SATA4 [blue], SATA5 [blue], SATA6
[blue])
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA 3.0
Gb/s hard disk and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s is backward
compatible with Serial ATA 1.5 Gb/s specication.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1,
RAID 0+1 (10), RAID 5, or JBOD conguration through the onboard NVRAID
controller. Refer to section “5.4.1 NVIDIA
®
RAID congurations” for details on
how to set up Serial ATA RAID congurations.
The RAID function of these connectors is set to [Disabled] by default. If you
intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, enable the RAID
Enabled item in the BIOS. See section “4.5.4 Onboard Device Conguration >
Serial-ATA Conguration” for details.
