P5E64 WS Evolution EXT_SATA connectors
• Please install the Marvell
ATA RAID connectors (EXT_SATA1-2). Refer to 5.2.4 Make Disk menu for
details.
• If you intend to create a RAID configuration using one of the Marvell
ATA RAID connectors and one of the external SATA ports, it is strongly
recommended to install the OS on the internal hard disk drive and use the
external hard disk drive as a data disk.
Before creating a RAID set using Serial ATA hard disks, make sure that you
have connected the Serial ATA signal cables and installed Serial ATA hard disk
drives; otherwise, you cannot enter the Marvell RAID utility and SATA BIOS
setup during POST.
