These connectors are set to Standard IDE configuration 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, adjust the RAID controller setting in the BIOS
Setup. See section “4.3.6 IDE Configuration” on page 4-15 for details.
