3. ICH9R Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1 [blue], SATA2 [blue], SATA3 [blue], SATA4 [blue], SATA5 [blue], SATA6 [blue])

These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk drives.

If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0 and RAID 1 configuration with the Intel® Matrix Storage Technology through the onboard Intel® ICH9R RAID controller.

• These connectors are set to Standard IDE mode by default. In Standard IDE mode, you can connect Serial ATA boot/data hard disk drives to these connectors. If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set the Configure SATA as item in the BIOS to [RAID]. See section 4.3.6 SATA Configuration for details.

• Before creating a RAID set, refer to 5.4.2 Intel RAID Configuration or the manual bundled in the motherboard support DVD.
