4. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA5, SATA6) These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard disk and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3Gb/s is backward compatible with Serial ATA 1.5Gb/s specification. The data transfer rate of the Serial ATA 3Gb/s is faster than the standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s (Ultra DMA133). If you install Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, and JBOD configurations through the onboard chipset. Install the Windows® XP Service Pack 2 or later version before using Serial ATA. • The motherboard does not provides a floppy disk drive connector. You could use a USB floppy disk drive when installing Windows® XP operating system on a hard disk drive that includes a RAID/AHCI set. • Due to Windows® XP limitation, Windows® XP may not recognize the USB floppy disk drive. • For more details on RAID/AHCI, refer to the RAID/AHCI Supplementary Guide included in the folder named Manual in the support DVD. • If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set the OnChip SATA Type item in the BIOS to [RAID]. See page 2-8 for details. 5. LPT connector (26-1 pin LPT) The LPT (Line Printing Terminal) connector supports devices such as a printer. LPT standardizes as IEEE 1284, which is the parallel port interface on IBM PC-compatible computers. 1-26 E4711_M4A785D-M PRO.indb 26 Chapter 1: Product introduction 7/6/09 9:10:11 AM

Chapter 1: Product introduction
•
The motherboard does not provides a floppy disk drive connector. You could use a USB
floppy disk drive when installing Windows
®
XP operating system on a hard disk drive
that includes a RAID/AHCI set.
• Due to Windows
®
XP limitation, Windows
®
XP may not recognize the USB floppy disk
drive.
•
For more details on RAID/AHCI, refer to the RAID/AHCI Supplementary Guide included
in the folder named Manual in the support DVD.
•
If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set the
OnChip
SATA Type
item in the BIOS to
[RAID]
. See page 2-8 for details.
