This motherboard adopts NVIDIA
(SATA) / Serial ATAII (SATAII) hard disks and RAID functions. You may install SATA /
SATAII hard disks on this motherboard for internal storage devices. This section will
guide you to install the SATA / SATAII hard disks.
STEP 1: Install the SATA / SATAII hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis.
STEP 2: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA / SATAII hard disk.
STEP 3: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard's SATAII
connector.
STEP 4: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the SATA / SATAII hard
disk.
1. If you plan to use RAID 0, RAID 1 or JBOD function, you need to install at
least 2 SATA / SATAII hard disks. If you plan to use RAID 5 function, you
need to install 3 SATA / SATAII hard disks. If you plan to use RAID 0+1
function, you need to install 4 SATA / SATAII hard disks.
2. It is recommended to build RAID on internal SATAII ports. In other
words, if SATAII_6 (PORT5) is used for eSATAII port, please build
RAID on other SATAII ports.
3. Under non-RAID mode, SATAII_5 (PORT4) and SATAII_6 (PORT5)
cannot function.
