Chapter 1: Product introduction

12. Digital Audio connector (6-1 pin SPDIF_OUT)

This connector is for the S/PDIF audio module to allow digital sound output.

Connect one end of the S/PDIF audio cable to this connector and the other

end to the S/PDIF module.

11. RAID Serial ATA connectors (7-pin PRI_SATA, SEC_SATA)

These Serial ATA connectors support SATA hard disks that you may configure

as a RAID set. Through the onboard Promise

PDC20376 RAID controller, you

may create a RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration together with the RAID ATA133

connector. See Chapter 3 for details on RAID configuration.

Important notes on Serial ATA solution:

• The Serial ATA cable is smaller and more flexible allowing easier routing

inside the chassis. The lower pin count of the Serial ATA cable eliminates

the problem caused by the wide, flat ribbon cables of the Parallel ATA

interface.

• Hot plug support for Serial ATA drive and connections is not available in

this motherboard.

• Install Windows

XP Service Pack 1 when using Serial ATA.

• Refer to sections “3.4 VIA RAID Configurations” or “3.5 Promise

RAID

Configurations” for details on SATA RAID configuration.

The S/PDIF out module is purchased separately.
