These connectors are for Ultra ATA 133/100/66 signal cables. These connectors support up to four IDE hard disk drives that can be configured as a disk array through the onboard IDE RAID controller. Refer to Chapter 5 for details on how to set up RAID configurations.
These connectors are set to IDE mode by default. In IDE mode, you can connect IDE devices to these connectors such as boot/data hard disk drives or optical drives. If you intend to create an IDE RAID set using these connectors, set the ITE8212F Controller item in the BIOS to RAID Mode. See section “4.4.6 Onboard Devices Configuration” for details.
