This connector is for a Serial ATA signal cable. It supports a Serial ATA
hard disk drive that you can combine with an external Serial ATA
3Gb/s device to configure a RAID 0 or RAID 1 set through the
onboard Silicon Image SATA RAID controller. Refer to Chapter 5 for
details on how to set up Serial ATA RAID configurations.
See section “4.4.8 Onboard Devices Configuration” on page 4-32 for
details.
Before creating a RAID set using Serial ATA hard disks, make sure
that you have connected the Serial ATA signal cable and installed
Serial ATA hard disk drives; otherwise, you cannot enter the Silicon
Image RAID utility and SATA BIOS setup during POST.
Use this connector and an external Serial ATA box connected to the
external SATA port, if you want to configure a RAID 0 or RAID 1 set.
The Serial ATA port multiplier and external Serial ATA box are
purchased separately.
DO NOT unplug the external Serial ATA box when a RAID 0 or RAID 1 was
configured.
