3. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4, SATA_ RAID5, SATA_RAID6, SATA_RAID7, and SATA_RAID8) These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk drives. If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, and RAID 5 configuration using the Intel® Matrix Storage Technology or RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 0+1 configurations using the LSI MegaRAID® utility embedded in the Intel® ICH7R Southbridge. These connectors are set to IDE mode by default. In IDE mode, you can connect Serial ATA boot/data hard disk drives to these connectors. If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set the Configure SATA as item in the BIOS to [RAID]. See section "4.3.5 IDE Configuration" for details.
