• Pin 20 on the IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on the Ultra DMA cable connector. This prevents incorrect insertion when you connect the IDE cable.

•Use the 80-conductor IDE cable for Ultra DMA 133/100/66 IDE devices.

If any device jumper is set as “Cable-Select,” make sure all other device jumpers have the same setting.

3.Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1-4)

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, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5, or JBOD configuration ����with the��� onboard������� NVIDIA������® MediaShield™ RAID controller.

The RAID function of these connectors is set to [Disabled] by default. If you

intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, enable the RAID Enabled item under the Serial ATA Configuration sub-menu in the BIOS.

These connectors support Native Command Queuing (NCQ), Power

Management (PM) Implementation Algorithm, Hot Swap and smart setup.
