3. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4) [PA4 model

These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk
drives.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID
1, RAID 0+1, and RAID 5 configuration using the Intel
Technology or RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 0+1 configuration using the LSI
MegaRAID

Serial ATA boot/data hard disk drives to these connectors. If you intend to create
a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set the Configure SATA as item in
the BIOS to [RAID]. See section "5.3.4 IDE Configuration" for details.
