6) SATA3 0/1/2/3/4/5/6 (SATA 6Gb/s Connectors)
The SATA connectors conform to SATA 6Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and SATA
1.5Gb/s standard. Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The AMD A88X Chipset supports
RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10, and JBOD. Refer to Chapter 3, "Conguring SATA Hard Drive(s)," for
instructions on conguring a RAID array.
• A RAID 0 or RAID 1 conguration requires at least two hard drives. If more than two hard drives
are to be used, the total number of hard drives must be an even number.
• A RAID 5 conguration requires at least three hard drives. (The total number of hard drives does
not have to be an even number.)
• A RAID 10 conguration requires four hard drives.

7) CLR_CMOS (Clear CMOS Jumper)
Use this jumper to clear the BIOS conguration and reset the CMOS values to factory defaults. To clear
the CMOS values, use a metal object like a screwdriver to touch the two pins for a few seconds.
• Always turn off your computer before clearing the CMOS values.
• After system restart, go to BIOS Setup to load factory defaults (select Load Optimized Defaults) or
manually congure the BIOS settings (refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," for BIOS congurations).
