M2N-PLUS SLI IDE connectors

PIN 1

3.NVIDIA® nForce® 500 SLI Southbridge Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1 [red], SATA2 [red], SATA3 [red], SATA4 [red])

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 3.0 Gb/s is backward compatible with Serial ATA 1.5 Gb/s specification.

If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID

1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5, or JBOD configuration through the onboard NVIDIA®

MediaShield™ controller.

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 Enable item in the SATA Configuration sub-menu in the BIOS. See section 4.4.4 Onboard Device Configuration for details.
