• 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. • The external SATA ports support external Serial ATA 1.5 and 3 Gb/s devices. Longer cables support higher power requirements to deliver signal up to two meters away, and enables improved hot-swap function. • If you intend to create a RAID configuration using this connector, set the Silicon 3132 Controller item in the BIOS to [RAID Mode]. See section "4.4.6 Onboard Devices Configuration" for details. • Use these ports 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 insert a different connector to this port. • DO NOT unplug the external Serial ATA box when a RAID 0 or RAID 1 is configured. 14. IEEE 1394a port. This 6-pin IEEE 1394a port provides high-speed connectivity for audio/video devices, storage peripherals, PCs, or portable devices. 15. Onboard LED switch. This motherboard features onboard LEDs that light up the labels, making it easy for you to install or plug in devices even in the dark. Press this switch to turn on the onboard LEDs. 16. Optical S/PDIF Out port. This port connects an external audio output device via an optical S/PDIF cable. 17. PS/2 keyboard port (purple). This port is for a PS/2 keyboard. ASUS Crosshair 2-27
