8. AMD® A55 Serial ATA 3.0Gb/s connectors (7-pin SATA3G_1~6 [blue])

These connectors connect to Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s hard disk drives and optical drives via

Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s signal cables.

If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, 1, and 0+1(10)

congurations through the onboard AMDl® A55 chipset.

• These connectors are set to [AHCI] by default. If you intend to create a Serial ATA

RAID set using these connectors, set the SATA Mode Selection item in the BIOS to

[RAID]. See section 2.5.2 SATA Conguration for details.

• Before creating a RAID set, refer to the RAID Supplementary Guide included in the

folder named Manual in the support DVD.

• You must install Windows® XP Service Pack 3 or later version before using Serial ATA

hard disk drives. The Serial ATA RAID feature (RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10) is available only if

you are using Windows® XP SP3 or later version.

• When using hot-plug and NCQ, set the SATA Mode Selection item in the BIOS to

[AHCI]. See section 2.5.2 SATA Conguration for details.
