Before creating a RAID set using Serial ATA hard disks, make sure
that you have connected the Serial ATA signal cable and installed
Serial ATA hard disk drives; otherwise, you cannot enter the Silicon
Image RAID utility and SATA BIOS setup during POST.
Use this connector and an external Serial ATA box connected to the
external SATA port, if you want to configure a RAID 0 or RAID 1 set.
The Serial ATA port multiplier and external Serial ATA box are
purchased separately.
