Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1-4)
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk
drives.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID
1, RAID 0+1, and RAID 5 configuration using the Intel
®
Matrix Storage
Technology or RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 0+1 configuration using the LSI
MegaRAID
®
utility embedded in the Intel
®
ICH7R Southbridge.
These connectors are set
IDE
mode by default. In
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
Configure SATA
as
item in the BIOS to [RAID]. See section “4.3.4 IDE Configuration” for details.

Use only two Serial ATA RAID connectors for each RAID 0 or RAID 1 set.
When using the connectors in
IDE
mode, connect the primary (boot) hard
disk drive to the SATA1 or SATA2 connector. Refer to the table below for the
recommended SATA hard disk drive connections.
