9) SATAII0/1/2/3/4/5 (SATA 3Gb/s Connectors)
The SATA connectors conform to SATA 3Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s
standard. Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The ICH9R controller supports
RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10. Refer to Chapter 5, "Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s)," for
instructions on configuring a RAID array.
• A RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration 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 configuration requires at least three hard drives. (The total number of hard
drives does not have to be an even number.)
• A RAID 10 configuration requires at least four hard drives and the total number of hard
drives must be an even number.
10) PWR_LED (System Power LED Header)
This header can be used to connect a system power LED on the chassis to indicate system power
status. The LED is on when the system is operating. The LED keeps blinking when the system is
in S1 sleep state. The LED is off when the system is in S3/S4 sleep state or powered off (S5).
