Figure 34. SATA Port Mapping for Desktop Board DG965MQ
After RAID is Enabled
CAUTION
Exercise caution when replacing a failed drive within a RAID storage array. Do not
replace the failed drive based on the original SATA port mapping; use the new
mapping shown in Figure 34.
The SATA port mapping shown in Figure 34 is consistent with the SATA port
assignment in the Intel
®
Matrix Storage Configuration Utility (Ctrl+I) and the
Intel
®
Matrix Storage Console software.
