3. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1-6) 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, RAID 5, or JBODconfiguration with the NVIDIA® MediaShield™ RAID controller. • These connectors are set to [Disabled] by default. In Standard 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, enable the [RAID Enabled] item in the BIOS. See section 4.5.3 Onboard Devices Configuration for details. • For RAID 5, use at least three hard disk drives. For RAID 0+1, use at least four hard disk drives. Use two to four Serial ATA hard disk drives for each RAID 0 or RAID 1 set. • Before creating a RAID set, refer to 5.4.2 NVIDIA® RAID configurations or the manual bundled in the motherboard support DVD. You must install the Windows® XP Service Pack 1 before using Serial ATA hard disk drives. The Serial ATA RAID feature (RAID 0/RAID 1/RAID 5/RAID 10) is available only if you are using Windows® XP or later version. Connect the right-angle side of SATA signal cable to SATA device.
