2. ICH10R Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA 1-6 [blue])
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 3.3.5 Storage Conguration for details.
Before creating a RAID set, refer to section
4.4.3 Intel
®
RAID
congurations or the manual bundled in the motherboard support DVD.
You must install the Windows
®
XP Service Pack 1 before using Serial ATA
hard disk drives. The Serial ATA RAID feature (RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10) is
available only if you are using Windows
®
XP or later version.
When using hot-plug and NCQ, set the Congure SATA as in the BIOS to
