4. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1-5) 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 or RAID 10 configuration through the onboard SB710 chipset. Important note on Serial ATA Install Windows® XP Service Pack 2 or later version before using Serial ATA. • For detailed instructions on how to configure RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 10, refer to the RAID 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].
