ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe 2-25
4. Silicon Image® Serial ATA RAID connector
(7-pin SATA_RAID2)This connector is for a Serial ATA signal cable. This connector supports a Serial ATA hard disk drive that you can congure for RAID through the onboard Serial ATA RAID controller.
The Silicon 3132 Controller item in the BIOS is set to [SATA2 Mode] by default,
allowing you to enable the hot-plug function for the external device. Set to [RAID
Mode] to use the connectors to build a RAID set. See section “4.4.7 Onboard
Device Conguration” for details.
Before creating a RAID set using Serial ATA hard disks, make sure that you
have connected the Serial ATA signal cables and installed Serial ATA hard disk
drives; otherwise, you cannot enter the Silicon Image® RAID utility and SATA
BIOS setup during POST.
