4.Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4)

These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s hard disk and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3 Gb/s is backward compatible with Serial ATA 1.5Gb/s specification.

The current Serial ATA I interface allows up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate while Serial ATA II allows up to 300 MB/s data transfer rate, faster than the standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s (Ultra DMA133).

If you install Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0 and RAID 1 configuration through the onboard NVIDIA® MediaShield™ controller.

Install the Windows® XP Service Pack1 before using Serial ATA.

•For detailed instructions on how to configure RAID 0 and 1, refer to the

RAID manual in the support CD.

•The RAID function of these connectors is set to [Disabled] by default. If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, enable the

RAID Enabled item in the NVRAID Configuration sub-menu in the BIOS. See section “2.4.6 Onboard Device Configuration” for details.
