2.14 Serial ATA (SATA) / Serial ATAII (SATAII) Hard Disks Installation This motherboard adopts Intel® ICH7R south bridge chipset that supports Serial ATA (SATA) / Serial ATAII (SATAII) hard disks and RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, RAID 5, and Intel Matrix Storage) 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, RAID 1, or Intel Matrix Storage 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 10 function, you need to install at least 4 SATA / SATAII hard disks. If you install 2 eSATAII devices, then only RAID 0, RAID 1, or Intel Matrix Storage functions will be enabled. 2. It is not recommended to switch the "Configure SATA as" setting between AHCI, RAID, and IDE mode after OS installation. 34

This motherboard adopts Intel
®
ICH7R south bridge chipset that supports Serial
ATA (SATA) / Serial ATAII (SATAII) hard disks and RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10,
RAID 5, and Intel Matrix Storage) 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, RAID 1, or Intel Matrix Storage 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 10 function, you need to install at least 4 SATA /
SATAII hard disks. If you install 2 eSATAII devices, then only RAID 0,
RAID 1, or Intel Matrix Storage functions will be enabled.
2. It is not recommended to switch the “Configure SATA as” setting between
AHCI, RAID, and IDE mode after OS installation.
