Important notes on the RAID feature:

•By default, the drive that you connect to the PRI_RAID1 connector follow the ATA133/100/66/33 protocol as an independent drive, not as a disk array.

•The PRI_RAID1 connector supports only one HDD setMasterto mode. An HDD set to Slave mode does not work.

•For RAID 0 configuration, you may use any two of the Parallel ATA and Serial ATA connectors, or all three connectors.

•For RAID 1 configuration, you may use any two of the Parallel ATA and Serial ATA connectors.

•The RAID/SATA controller chipset does not support ATAPI devices such as CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, etc.
