• Before creating a RAID set using Serial ATA hard disks, make sure that you
have connected the Serial ATA signal cable and installed Serial ATA hard
disk drives; otherwise, you cannot enter the JMicron RAID utility and SATA
BIOS setup during POST.
• If you intend to create a RAID configuration using this connector, set the
JMicron eSATA/PATA Controller Mode item in the BIOS to [RAID]. Setting
this item to [AHCI] supports Native Command Queuing (NCQ) function.
See section 4.4.5 Onboard Devices Configuration for details.
• Refer to section 5.4 RAID configurations for details about configuring a
RAID 0, RAID 1, or JBOD.
The external SATA port supports
external Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s
devices. Longer cables support
higher power requirements to
deliver signal up to two meters
away, and enables improved hot-
swap function.
• DO NOT insert a different connector to this port.
• DO NOT unplug the external Serial ATA box when a RAID 0 or JBOD is
configured.
