2. ICH10R Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA 1-5)
These connectors are for the Serial ATA 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, 1, 5, and 10
conguration with the Intel
®
Matrix Storage Technology through the onboard Intel
®
ICH10R RAID controller.
• These connectors are set to Standard IDE mode by default. In Standard 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
Congure
SATA as
item in the BIOS to [RAID]. See section
3.4.2 Storage Conguration
for
details.
• Before creating a RAID set, refer to section
4.4 RAID congurations
or the manual
bundled in the motherboard support DVD.
• You must install Windows
®
XP Service Pack 2 or later version before using Serial ATA

you are using Windows
®
XP SP2 or later version.
