P5E WS Professional EXT_SATA connectors

• Please install the Marvell® Controller driver before using the black Serial ATA RAID connectors (EXT_SATA1-2). Refer to 6.2.4 Make Disk menu for details.

If you intend to create a RAID configuration using one of the Marvell® Serial ATA RAID connectors and one of the external SATA ports, it is strongly recommended to install the OS on the internal hard disk drive and use the external hard disk drive as a data disk.

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 BIOS setup during POST.
