12.USB 2.0 ports 3 and 4. These two 4-pin Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports are available for connecting USB 2.0 devices.

13.External SATA ports. These ports connect to external Serial ATA hard disk drives. To configure a RAID 0, 1, 5 or 10 set, install an external Serial ATA hard disk drive to the external Serial ATA port and an internal Serial ATA hard disk drive to the onboard Serial ATA connectors labeled EXT_SATA1 or EXT_SATA2.

The external SATA ports support external Serial ATA

3.0Gb/s devices. Longer cables support higher power requirements to deliver signal up to two meters away, and enables improved hot-swap function.

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

•If you intend to create a RAID configuration using one of these connectors, set the Marvell SATA/PATA Controller item in the BIOS to [RAID Mode].

See section 4.5.3 OnBoard Devices Configuration for details.
