Chapter 2 3. Marvell® Serial ATA 6Gb/s connectors (7-pin SATA6G_E1/E2 [gray]) These connectors connect to Serial ATA 6Gb/s hard disk drives via Serial ATA 6Gb/s signal cables. • The SATA6G_E1/E2 (gray) connectors do not support ATAPI devices. • You must install Windows® XP Service Pack 3 or later versions before using Serial ATA hard disk drives. • For high performance of ASUS SSD Caching, please connect one HDD and one SSD to Marvell® SATA6G_E1/E2 connectors. • For regular usage, the SATA6G_E1/E2 connectors are recommended for data drives. • When using hot-plug and NCQ, set the Marvell Storage Controller item in the BIOS to [Enabled]. Refer to section 3.5.5 Onboard Devices Configuration for details. • Press + during POST to enter the Marvell RAID utility to create or delete a RAID configuration. • If you want to install a Windows® operating system to a RAID configuration created using the Marvell® SATA controller, you have to create a RAID driver disk using the motherboard support DVD and load the driver during OS installation. For 32/64-bit Windows XP OS, load first the Marvell shared library driver, and then load Marvell 91xx SATA Controller Driver. For Windows Vista / Windows7 OS, load only the Marvell 91xx SATA Controller Driver. ASUS SABERTOOTH X79 2-19
