This connector is for a Serial ATA signal cable. This connector
supports a Serial ATA hard disk drive that you can configure for RAID
through the onboard Serial ATA RAID controller. Refer to Chapter 5
for details on how to set up Serial ATA RAID configurations.
The Silicon 3132 Controller item in the BIOS is set to [SATA2 Mode] by
default, allowing you to enable the hot-plug function for the external
device. Set to [RAID Mode] to use the connectors to build a RAID set.
See section “4.4.6 Onboard Devices Configuration” for details.
Before creating a RAID set using Serial ATA hard disks, make sure that
you have connected the Serial ATA signal cables and installed Serial ATA
hard disk drives; otherwise, you cannot enter the Silicon Image
