5. Serial ATA connectors
(7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4)
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA
3.0 Gb/s hard disk and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3 Gb/s is
backward compatible with Serial ATA 1.5Gb/s specication.
The current Serial ATA I interface allows up to 150 MB/s data transfer
rate while Serial ATA II allows up to 300 MB/s data transfer rate,
faster than the standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s (Ultra DMA133).
If you install Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID
0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5, and JBOD conguration through the
onboard NVIDIA
®
MediaShield™ controller.
Important note on Serial ATA
Install the Windows
®
2000 Service Pack 4 or the Windows
®
XP Service
Pack1 before using Serial ATA.
• For detailed instructions on how to congure RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5,and
JBOD, refer to the RAID manual in the support CD.
• The RAID function of these connectors is set to [Disabled] by
default. If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these
connectors, enable the RAID Enabled item in the Serial-ATA
Conguration sub-menu in the BIOS. See section “2.4.5 Onboard
Device Conguration” for details.
