4. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1-5) 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 SATA1-5 connectors, you can create a RAID 0, 1, 0+1, or JBOD configuration through the onboard nForce® 980a SLI controller. These 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]. Chapter 2 • The SATA 5 connector supports AHCI mode and RAID mode only. Ensure to install the AHCI driver or RAID driver in the bundled support DVD before connecting devices to the SATA 5 connector. 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 Windows® XP Service Pack 2 or later version before using Serial ATA hard disk drives. The Serial ATA RAID feature is available only if you are using Windows® XP SP2 or later version. • Port multipliers are not supported by the onboard SATA connectors and the external SATA port. 2-30 Chapter 2: Hardware information
