P8H61-M LX3 R2.0 Series Intel® SATA 3.0Gb/s connectors

• You must install Windows® XP Service Pack 3 or later version before using Serial ATA hard disk drives.

Due to H61 Chipset limitation, AHCI Mode only works on Windows® Vista / Windows® 7. Please use IDE Mode on Windows® XP.

[IDE] is the default SATA type. Under Windows® XP, there is no need to change the SATA type.

To configure the SATA type in BIOS, click Advanced Mode > Advanced tab > SATA

Configuration > SATA Mode Selection.

When using hot-plug and NCQ on Windows® Vista / Windows® 7, set the SATA Mode Selection item in the BIOS to [AHCI]. See section 2.5.3 SATA Configuration for details.
