4 . Serial ATA RAID connectors (7-pin SATA_RAID1, SATA_RAID2, SATA_RAID3, SATA_RAID4) (Optional)

These connectors are for Serial ATA signal cables. These connectors support up to four Serial ATA hard disk drives that you can configure as a disk array through the onboard SATA RAID controller. Refer to Chapter 3 for details on how to set up Serial ATA RAID configurations.

NCLV-D SATA RAID connectors

Before creating a RAID set using Serial ATA hard disks, make sure that you have connected the Serial ATA signal cable and installed Serial ATA hard disk drives; ; otherwise, you cannot enter the RAID utility and SATA BIOS setup during POST.

5 . Hard disk activity LED connector (2-pin HDLED1)

This connector supplies power to the hard disk activity LED. The read or write activities of any device connected to the primary/secondary IDE connectors or the SATA connectors cause this LED to light up.
