15.External SATA ports. These ports connect to external Serial ATA hard disk drives. To configure a RAID 0, 1, 5 or 10 set, install two external Serial ATA hard disk drives or the port-multiplier device to these ports.

• Before creating a RAID set using external Serial ATA hard disks, make sure that you have connected the external Serial ATA signal cables and installed external Serial ATA hard disk drives; otherwise, you cannot enter the Marvell RAID utility during POST.

If you intend to create a RAID set using the external SATA ports, set the Marvell 6121/eSATA item in the BIOS to [RAID Mode]. See section

4.5.4 OnBoard Device Configuration and 5.4.3 Marvell® eSATA RAID configurations for details.

• DO NOT insert different connectors to these ports.
