Chapter 2: Hardware information

4. Serial ATA connectors

(SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4, SATA5, SATA6)
Supported by the NVIDIA

®

MCP55 Pro chipset, these connectors are

for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk drives that

allows up to 3Gb/s of data transfer rate.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0,

RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5, or JBOD configuration. Refer to Chapter 5

for details on how to set up the RAID configurations.

The actual data transfer rate depends on the speed of Serial ATA hard

disks installed.

These connectors are set to SATA by default. In SATA mode, you can

connect Serial ATA boot or data hard disk drives to these connectors.

If you intent to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors,

enable the RAID function of each port from the nVidia RAID Setup

sub-menu item in the BIOS. See section “4.3.5 IDE Configuration” on

page 4-14 for details.

5. CPU, Front and Rear fan connectors

(4-pin CPU_FAN1/4, FRNT_FAN1/6, REAR_FAN1/2)
The fan connectors support cooling fans of 350mA~740mA (8.88 W

max.) or a total of 4.2A~8.88A (106.56 W max.) at +12V. Connect

the fan cables to the fan connectors on the motherboard, making

sure that the black wire of each cable matches the ground pin of the

connector.
