Important notes on Serial ATA solution:
•
In legacy operating system (Win 98, WinME, WinNT, DOS)
environment, using SATA will disable one of the IDE channels from
ICH5R south bridge chipset. See BIOS section for correct setting.
•
The Serial ATA cable is smaller and more flexible allowing easier
routing inside the chassis. The lower pin count of the Serial ATA
cable eliminates the problem caused by the wide, flat ribbon cables
of the Parallel ATA interface.
•
The Serial ATA RAID driver is available for Windows
®
XP™ only.
•
Only RAID 0 is supported.
•
Hot plug support for Serial ATA drive and connections are not
available in this motherboard.
•
Install Windows
®
XP™ Service Pack 1 when using Serial ATA.
