5) SATA3 0/1/2/3/4/5 (SATA 6Gb/s Connectors)
The SATA connectors conform to SATA 6Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and SATA
1.5Gb/s standard. Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The Intel
®
Chipset supports RAID 0,
RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10. Refer to Chapter 3, "Conguring a RAID Set," for instructions on conguring
a RAID array.

To enable hot-plugging for the SATA ports, refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," "Settings\IO Ports\
SATA And RST Conguration," for more information.
6) M2M_SB/M2P_SB (M.2 Socket 3 Connectors)
The M.2 connectors support M.2 SATA SSDs or M.2 PCIe SSDs and support RAID conguration. Please
note that an M.2 PCIe SSD cannot be used to create a RAID set either with an M.2 SATA SSD or a SATA
hard drive. To create a RAID array with an M.2 PCIe SSD, you must set up the conguration in UEFI BIOS
mode. Refer to Chapter 3, "Conguring a RAID Set," for instructions on conguring a RAID array.

Follow the steps below to correctly install an M.2 SSD in the M.2 connector.
Step 1:
Use a screw driver to unfasten the screw and standoff from the motherboard. Locate the proper mounting
hole for the M.2 SSD to be installed and then screw the standoff rst.
Step 2:
Slide the M.2 SSD into the connector at an angle.
Step 3:
Press the M.2 SSD down and then secure it with the screw.
Select the proper hole for the M.2 SSD to be installed and refasten the screw and standoff.
