Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA5, SATA6)
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA
3Gb/s hard disk and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3Gb/s is backward
compatible with Serial ATA 1.5Gb/s specification. The data transfer rate of the
Serial ATA 3Gb/s is faster than the standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s (Ultra
DMA133).
If you install Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0,
RAID 1, RAID 0+1, RAID 5, and JBOD configuration through the onboard
NVIDIA GeForce 8200 chipset.

For detailed instructions on how to configure RAID 0, RAID 1, and
RAID 0+1, RAID 5, and JBOD, refer to the RAID manual in the support
DVD.

If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set
the SATA Mode select item in the BIOS to [RAID Mode]. See
page 2-20 for details.

If you change the SATA Mode select item in the BIOS to [RAID Mode]
or [AHCI Mode], set the Onboard PCI IDE Controller to [Disabled] to
ensure that SATA5 and SATA6 (the black ports) work normally.

If you want to do the task as GHOST, we suggest you connect the original
disk to the SATA5 or SATA6.
