5.4.1 Installing hard disks The motherboard supports UltraDMA 133/100/66 and Serial ATA hard disk drives. For optimal performance, install identical Serial ATA hard disks of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array. • If you are creating a RAID 0 (striping) array for performance, use two new drives. • If you are creating a RAID 1 (mirroring) array for protection, you can use two new drives or use an existing drive and a new drive with the same or larger size than the existing drive. Installing Parallel ATA hard disks To install the hard disks: 1. Set the jumpers of each hard disk as Master/Slave or Slave/Slave. 2. Install the hard disks into the drive bays. 3. Connect the HDD signal cables. 4. Connect a 4-pin power cable to the power connector on each drive. Installing Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks To install the SATA hard disks for RAID configuration: 1. Install the Serial ATA hard disks into the drive bays. 2. Connect the Serial ATA signal cables. 3. Connect the Serial ATA power cable to the power connector on each drive. ASUS M2V-X 5-11

Installing hard disks
The motherboard supports UltraDMA 133/100/66 and Serial ATA hard disk
drives. For optimal performance, install identical Serial ATA hard disks of
the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.
Installing Parallel ATA hard disks
To install the hard disks:
1.
Set the jumpers of each hard disk as Master/Slave or Slave/Slave.
2.
Install the hard disks into the drive bays.
3. Connect the HDD signal cables.
4.
Connect a 4-pin power cable to the power connector on each drive.
Installing Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks
To install the SATA hard disks for RAID configuration:
1.
Install the Serial ATA hard disks into the drive bays.
2.
Connect the Serial ATA signal cables.
3.
Connect the Serial ATA power cable to the power connector on each
drive.
•
If you are creating a
RAID 0 (striping)
array for performance, use
two new drives.
•
If you are creating a
RAID 1 (mirroring)
array for protection, you
can use two new drives or use an existing drive and a new drive
with the same or larger size than the existing drive.
