3. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4)
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
and RAID 1 conguration using the Intel
®
Matrix Storage Technology or
the LSI MegaRAID
®
utility embedded in the Intel
®
ICH7R Southbridge.
Serial ATA hard disk drive connection
Connector Setting Use
SATA1/SATA2 Master Boot disk
SATA3/SATA4 Slave Data disk
These connectors are set 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
Congure SATA as item in the BIOS to [RAID]. See section “4.3.4 IDE
Conguration” for details.
Important notes on Serial ATA
• Use only two Serial ATA RAID connectors for each RAID 0 or RAID 1
set.
• When using the connectors in
IDE mode, connect the primary (boot)
hard disk drive to the SATA1 or SATA2 connector. Refer to the table
below for the recommended SATA hard disk drive connections.
