8. Marvell® Serial ATA 6.0 Gb/s connectors (7-pin SATA6G_E1/E2/E3/E4 [gray]) These connectors connect to Serial ATA 6.0 Gb/s hard disk drives via Serial ATA 6.0 Gb/s signal cables. • For high performance of ASUS SSD Caching, please connect one HDD and one SSD to Marvell® SATA6G_E1/E2/E3/E4 connectors. • For SSD Caching setup, you can use more than one SSD and only one HDD. • You cannot use ASUS SSD Caching and Marvell® RAID at the same time. • For regular usage, the SATA6G_E1/E2/E3/E4 connectors are recommended for data drivers. • You must install Windows® XP Service Pack 3 or later versions before using Serial ATA hard disk drives. • 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 32/64bit Windows XP OS, load first the Marvell ® shared library driver, and then load Marvell® 92xx SATA Controller Driver. For Windows Vista / Windows 7 OS, load only the Marvell® 92xx SATA Controller Driver. ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS 2-35
