8.Marvell® Serial ATA 6.0 Gb/s connectors (7-pin SATA6G_E1/E2/E3/E4 [gray])

These connectors connect to Serial ATA 6.0 Gb/s hard disk drives via Serial ATA 6.0 Gb/s signal cables.

• For high performance of ASUS SSD Caching, please connect one HDD and one SSD to Marvell® SATA6G_E1/E2/E3/E4 connectors.

For SSD Caching setup, you can use more than one SSD and only one

HDD.

You cannot use ASUS SSD Caching and Marvell® RAID at the same time.

For regular usage, the SATA6G_E1/E2/E3/E4 connectors are recommended for data drivers.

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

Press <Ctrl> + <M> during POST to enter the Marvell® RAID utility to create or delete a RAID configuration.

If you want to install a Windows operating system to a RAID configuration created using the Marvell® SATA controller, you have to create a RAID driver disk using the motherboard support DVD and load the driver during

OS installation. For 32/64bit Windows XP OS, load first the Marvell

® shared library driver, and then load Marvell® 92xx SATA Controller Driver. For Windows Vista / Windows 7 OS, load only the Marvell® 92xx SATA Controller Driver.
