These connectors are for Serial ATA signal cables. These connectors
support up to four Serial ATA hard disk drives that can be configured
as a disk array through the onboard SATA RAID controller. Refer to
Chapter 5 for details on how to set up Serial ATA RAID configurations.
You can configure a RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, RAID 5 or JBOD sets on
these connectors.
• These connectors are set to SATA mode by default. See section
“4.4.6 Onboard Devices Configuration” for details on changing the
connectors configuration to IDE mode.
•
When in IDE mode, you can connect Serial ATA boot/data hard disk
drives to any of these connectors.
•
Before creating a RAID configuration, make sure that you have
connected the Serial ATA cables to these connectors and have
installed the Serial ATA hard disks drives; otherwise, you cannot
enter the Silicon Image RAID utility and Serial ATA BIOS setup during
POST.
•
You can only create a RAID 5 and JBOD configuration using the
SATALink™ Serial ATA RAID Management software. See section
“5.2.2 Silicon Image RAID Configurations” for details.
•
The RAID 5 driver is not Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL)
certified.
•
All four Serial ATA ports are master ports. You can install Serial ATA
boot disks to any of these ports.
