3. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2)

These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA 3.0

Gb/s hard disk and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3 Gb/s is backward

compatible with Serial ATA 1.5Gb/s specication.

The current Serial ATA I interface allows up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate

while Serial ATA II allows up to 300 MB/s data transfer rate, faster than the

standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s (Ultra DMA133).

If you install Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1, and

JBOD conguration through the onboard NVIDIA

MediaShield™ controller.

Install the Windows

2000 Service Pack 4 or the Windows

XP Service Pack1

before using Serial ATA.

• For detailed instructions on how to congure RAID 0, 1, and JBOD, refer to

the RAID manual in the support CD.

• The RAID function of these connectors is set to [Disabled] by default. If

you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, enable

the nVidia RAID Function item in the IDE Conguration sub-menu in the

BIOS. See section “5.3.4 IDE Conguration” for details.
