4. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4, SATA5, and 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 133MB/s (Ultra DMA133). If you install Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 0+1 set through the onboard SB710 chipset.

See 2.3.4 SATA Configuration for details. • The motherboard does not provide 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 RA ID/AHCI Supplementary Guide included in the folder named Manual in the support DVD. 1-24 E5032_M4A78LT-M LE.indb 24 Chapter 1: Product introduction 9/25/09 2:31:58 PM
