500 SLI Southbridge Serial ATA connectors
(7-pin SATA1 [red], SATA2 [red], SATA3 [red], SATA4 [red])
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 3.0 Gb/s is backward
compatible with Serial ATA 1.5 Gb/s specication.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID
1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5, or JBOD conguration through the onboard NVIDIA

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
Enable item in the SATA Conguration sub-menu in the BIOS. See section
4.4.4 Onboard Device Conguration for details.
