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.
