Installation

This motherboard adopts NVIDIA

nForce 560 SLI 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, RAID 1 or JBOD 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 SATAII ports. In other words,

if SATAII_RED (PORT 2.1) is used for eSATAII port, please build RAID on

other SATAII ports.
