2 . 1 1 Serial ATA (SATA) / Serial ATAII (SATAII) Hard Disks Installation This motherboard adopts NVIDIA® nForce 740a SLI chipset that supports Serial ATA (SATA) / Serial ATAII (SATAII) hard disks and RAID 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 JBOD function, you need to install at least 2 SATA / SATAII hard disks. If you plan to use RAID 5 function, you need to install 3 SATA / SATAII hard disks. If you plan to use RAID 0+1 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 (PORT5) is used for eSATAII port, please build RAID on other SATAII ports. 3. Under non-RAID mode, SATAII_5 (PORT4) and SATAII_6 (PORT5) cannot function. 37
