• Pin 20 on the IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on the
Ultra DMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect insertion when you
connect the IDE cable.
• Use the 80-conductor IDE cable for Ultra DMA
133/100/66/33 IDE
devices.

3. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4, SATA5,
SATA6)
Supported by the NVIDIA
®
nForce
®
570 SLI MCP (MCP55P) chipset, these
connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk drives
that allows up to 3Gb/s of data transfer rate.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1,
RAID 0+1, RAID 5, or JBOD conguration. Refer to Chapter 5 for details on
how to set up the RAID congurations.
These connectors are set to SATA by default. In SATA mode, you can connect
Serial ATA boot or data hard disk drives to these connectors. If you intent to
create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, enable the RAID function
of each port from the nVIDIA RAID Setup sub-menu item in the BIOS. See
section “4.4.3 Onboard Device Conguration” for details.
