4. Serial ATA RAID connectors (7-pin SATA_RAID1, SATA_RAID2)
(on RAID models only)
These Serial ATA connectors support SATA hard disks that you may
configure as a RAID set. Through the onboard Promise PDC20378
RAID controller, you may create a RAID0, RAID1, RAID0+1, or multi-
RAID configuration together with the RAID ATA133 connector. See
Chapter 5 for details on RAID configuration.
If you wish to create a RAID set, make sure that you have connected
the SATA cable and installed Serial ATA devices. You cannot enter the
SATARaid™ utility and SATA BIOS setup during POST if there are no
connected Serial ATA devices.
