14. External SATA port. This port connects to an external Serial ATA
hard disk drive. To configure a RAID 0, a RAID 1, or a JBOD set,
install and external Serial ATA hard disk drive and an internal
Serial ATA hard disk drive to the SATA connector labeled
SATA_RAID or SATA_RAID1.
15. PS/2 keyboard port (purple). This port is for a PS/2 keyboard.
Note:
The external SATA port supports external Serial ATA 3.0 Gb
devices. Longer cables support higher power requirements to
deliver signals up to two meters away, and enable improved
hot-swap function.
Note:
1. 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.
2. If you intend to create a RAID configuration using this con-
nector, set the JMicron SATA Controller Mode item in the
BIOS to [RAID]. See section “2.4.6 Onboard Device Configu-
ration” for details.
Caution! 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.
