For model “AW8-MAX”, two additional SATA connectors (SATA5 and SATA6 hard drives through the Silicon Image chipset) are provided. You may configure a disk array by the Sil3132 SATA Driver option ROM utility.

For more information on how to configure the function mode for SATA, please refer to the item “On-Chip SATA Mode” in the BIOS menu of “On-Chip IDE Device”.
