4.Marvell® 6121 Serial ATA RAID connector (7-pin SATA_RAID1/2)

This connector is for a Serial ATA signal cable that supports a Serial ATA hard disk drive. To configure RAID 0 or RAID 1, install two internal Serial ATA hard disk drives to the SATA_RAID1/2 connectors.

The Marvell IDE/RAID function item in BIOS is set to [IDE] by default. Setting this item to [RAID] allows you to use the connectors to build a RAID set. See section 4.4.5 Onboard Devices Configuration for details.
