Chapter 2: Hardware information
3. ICH9R Serial ATA connectors [blue] (7-pin SATA1-SATA6)
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk
drives and optical disk drives.
When using the connectors in Standard IDE mode, connect the primary
(boot) hard disk drive to the SATA1/2 connector. Refer to the table below
for the recommended SATA hard disk drive connections.
These connectors are set to Standard IDE mode by default. In Standard
IDE mode, you can connect Serial ATA boot/data hard drives to these
connectors. If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these
connectors, set the Configure SATA as item in the BIOS to [RAID]. See
section 4.3.6 SATA Configuration for details.
Before creating a RAID set, refer to 5.4.3 Intel RAID configurations or
the manual bundled in the motherboard support DVD.
