2.13 Serial ATA (SATA) / Serial ATAII (SATAII) Hard Disks Installation This motherboard adopts AMD SB750 south bridge chipset that supports Serial ATA (SATA) / Serial ATAII (SATAII) hard disks and RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10 and JBOD) functions. You may install SATA / SATAII hard disks on this motherboard for internal storage devices. This section will guide you to install the SATA / SATAII hard disks. STEP 1: Install the SATA / SATAII hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis. STEP 2: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA / SATAII hard disk. STEP 3: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard's SATAII connector. STEP 4: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the SATA / SATAII hard disk. 1. If you plan to use RAID 0 or RAID 1 function, you need to install at least 2 SATA / SATAII hard disks. If you plan to use RAID 5 function, you need to install at least 3 SATA / SATAII hard disks. If you plan to use RAID 0+1 or RAID 10 function, you need to install 4 SATA / SATAII hard disks. 2. It is recommended to build RAID on internal SATAII ports. In other words, if SATAII_6 is used for eSATAII port, please build RAID on other SATAII ports. 45

This motherboard adopts AMD SB750 south bridge chipset that supports Serial
ATA (SATA) / Serial ATAII (SATAII) hard disks and RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5,
RAID 10 and JBOD) functions. You may install SATA / SATAII hard disks on this
motherboard for internal storage devices. This section will guide you to install the
SATA / SATAII hard disks.
STEP 1:
Install the SATA / SATAII hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis.
STEP 2:
Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA / SATAII hard disk.
STEP 3:
Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard’s SATAII
connector.
STEP 4:
Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the SATA / SATAII hard
disk.
1. If you plan to use RAID 0 or RAID 1 function, you need to install at least 2
SATA / SATAII hard disks. If you plan to use RAID 5 function, you need to
install at least 3 SATA / SATAII hard disks. If you plan to use RAID 0+1 or
RAID 10 function, you need to install 4 SATA / SATAII hard disks.
2. It is recommended to build RAID on internal SATAII ports. In other words, if
SATAII_6 is used for eSATAII port, please build RAID on other SATAII ports.
