can combine with an external Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s device to congure a RAID
0, RAID 1, or JBOD set through the onboard JMicron SATA RAID controller.
• Before creating a RAID set using Serial ATA hard disks, make sure that you
have connected the Serial ATA signal cable and installed Serial ATA hard
disk drives; otherwise, you cannot enter the JMicron RAID utility and SATA
BIOS setup during POST.
• If you intend to create a RAID conguration using this connector, set the
JMicron SATA Controller Mode item in the BIOS to [RAID]. See section
“4.4.5 Onboard Device Conguration” for details.
The external SATA port supports external Serial ATA
3.0 Gb/s devices. Longer cables support higher power requirements to deliver
signal up to two meters away, and enables improved hot-swap function.
• DO NOT insert a different connector to this port.
• DO NOT unplug the external Serial ATA box when a RAID 0 or JBOD is congured.
