7. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1-6)
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard disk
and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3Gb/s is backward compatible with Serial ATA
1.5Gb/s specication. The data transfer rate of the Serial ATA 3Gb/s is faster than the
standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s (Ultra DMA133).
• These connectors are set to Standard IDE mode by default. In Standard IDE mode, you
can connect Serial ATA boot/data hard disk drives to these connectors. If you intend to
create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set the Congure SATA as item
in the BIOS to [RAID].
• Before creating a RAID set, refer to the RAID Supplementary Guide included in the
folder named Manual in the support DVD.
• You must install Windows
®
XP Service Pack 2 or later version before using Serial ATA
hard disk drives. The Serial ATA RAID feature (RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10) is available only if
you are using Windows
®
XP SP2 or later version.
• When using hot-plug and NCQ, set the Congure SATA as item in the BIOS to [AHCI].
See section Storage Conguration for details.
