2.8.3 Internal connectors
1. AMD
®
SB850 Serial ATA Serial ATA 6.0 Gb/s connectors (7-pin SATA6G_1~6)
These connectors are for the Serial ATA 6.0 Gb/s signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk
drives and optical disc drives.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5,
or RAID 10 conguration through the onboard AMD
®
SB850 controller.
• These connectors are set to
IDE
mode by default. In
IDE
mode, you can connect
Serial ATA boot/data hard disk drives to these connectors. If you intend to create a
Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set the type of the SATA connectors to
[RAID]
in the BIOS. See section
3.4.2 SATA Conguration
for details.
• You must install Windows
®
XP Service Pack 3 or later version before using Serial
ATA hard disk drives. The Serial ATA RAID feature is available only if you are using
Windows
®
XP SP3 or later version.
• When using hot-plug and NCQ, set the type of the SATA connectors to
[AHCI]
in the
BIOS. See section
3.4.2 SATA Conguration
for details.
2. LPT connector (26-1 pin LPT)
The LPT (Line Printing Terminal) connector supports devices such as a printer. LPT is
standardized as IEEE 1284, which is the parallel port interface on IBM PC-compatible
computers.
