3.3.2 Internal connectors 1. NVIDIA® Quadro FX470 Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1-4 [red]; 7-pin SATA5-6 [black]) These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk drives and optical disk drives. • SATA1-4 connectors are set to [IDE] by default. If you intend to create a SATA RAID set using these connectors, set the SATA Mode select item in the BIOS to [RAID Mode]. • SATA 5-6 connectors support RAID mode and AHCI mode only. To use these connectors, set the SATA Mode select item in the BIOS to [RAID mode] or [AHCI Mode]. • SATA devices connected to SATA 5-6 connectors can be used only as data storage devices. Do not connect a boot device to the SATA 5-6 connectors. • Due to chipset limitation, when set any of SATA ports to RAID or AHCI mode, all SATA ports run at RAID or AHCI mode together. • If you intend to use SATA hard disk drives in RAID or AHCI mode, ensure to create a RAID / AHCI driver disk using the motherboard support DVD, and then load the RAID / AHCI driver during OS installation. • You must install the Windows XP® Service Pack 1 before using SATA hard disk drives. The SATA RAID feature is available only if you are using Windows XP® or later version. Connect the right-angle side of SATA signal cable to SATA device. Or you may connect the right-angle side of SATA cable to the onboard SATA port to avoid mechanical conflict with huge graphics cards. Right angle side 3-8 Chapter 3: Motherboard information
