3. Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4) 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 10 set through the onboard SB710 chipset.

Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4)
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 10 set through the onboard SB710
chipset.
• Install the Windows
®
XP Service Pack 3 or later versions before using Serial ATA.
•
If you intend to create a SATA RAID set, set the type of the SATA connectors to
[RAID]
in the BIOS. 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 RAID/AHCI Supplementary Guide included
in the folder named Manual in the support DVD.
