Installation

This motherboard adopts NVIDIA

nForce 520 chipset that supports Serial ATA

(SATA) / Serial ATAII (SATAII) hard disks and RAID functions. You may install SATA

/ SATAII hard disks on this motherboard for internal storage devices. This section

will guide you to install the SATA / SATAII hard disks.

STEP 1: Install the SATA / SATAII hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis.

STEP 2: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA / SATAII hard disk.

STEP 3: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard’s SATAII

connector.

STEP 4: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the SATA / SATAII hard

disk.

1. If you plan to use RAID 0 or RAID 1 function, you need to install at least

2 SATA / SATAII hard disks. If you plan to use RAID 5 function, you need

to install 3 SATA / SATAII hard disks. If you plan to use RAID 0+1

function, you need to install 4 SATA / SATAII hard disks.

2. It is recommended to build RAID on internal SATA / SATAII ports. In other

words, if SATAII_RED (PORT1) and SATAII_ORANGE (PORT3) are used

for eSATAII ports, please build RAID on SATAII_BLUE (PORT0) and

SATAII_BLACK (PORT2).
