4. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, and SATA4)
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard disk
and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3Gb/s is backward compatible with Serial ATA
1.5Gb/s specication. The data transfer rate of the Serial ATA 3Gb/s is faster than
the standard parallel ATA with 133MB/s (Ultra DMA133). If you install Serial ATA hard
disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 0+1 set through the
onboard chipset.
• Install the Windows
®
XP Service Pack 2 or later versions before using Serial ATA.
• If you intend to create a SATA RAID set, set the
nVidia RAID Function item in the BIOS
to [Enabled]. See 2.3.3 IDE Conguration for details.
• The motherboard does not provide a oppy disk drive connector. You could use a USB
oppy disk drive when installing Windows
®
XP operating system on a hard disk drive
that includes a RAID/AHCI set.
• Due to Windows
®
XP limitation, Windows
®
XP may not recognize some USB oppy disk
drives.
• For more details on RAID/AHCI, refer to the RAID/AHCI Supplementary Guide included
in the folder named Manual in the support DVD.
