7. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1-6) These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk and optical disk drives. If you install SATA hard disk drives to the SATA1/2/3/4/5/6 connectors, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10 and JBOD configuration through the onboard NVIDIA® GeForce 8300 controller. • SATA1-4 connectors are set to [SATA Mode] by default. If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set the SATA Mode select item in the BIOS to [RAID Mode]. • Before creating a RAID set, refer to the manual bundled in the motherboard support DVD. • SATA 5-6 connectors support AHCI mode and RAID mode only. Make sure to install the AHCI driver or RAID driver in the bundled support DVD before connecting devices to SATA 5-6 connectors. Otherwise, the devices will not work. • Due to chipset limitation, when you set any of the SATA ports to RAID mode, all SATA ports run at RAID mode simultaneously. • You must install the Windows® XP Service Pack 1 before using Serial ATA hard disk drives. The Serial ATA RAID feature (RAID 0 and RAID 1) is available only if you are using Windows® XP or later version. 1-22 ASUS M4N78 PRO
