6) SATA3 0/1/2/3/4/5 (SATA 6Gb/s Connectors, Controlled by Intel
The SATA connectors conform to SATA 6Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and SATA
1.5Gb/s standard. Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The Intel
supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10. Refer to Chapter 3, "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 four hard drives.
7) F_AUDIO (Front Panel Audio Header)
The front panel audio header supports Intel High Definition audio (HD) and AC'97 audio. You may connect
your chassis front panel audio module to this header. Make sure the wire assignments of the module
connector match the pin assignments of the motherboard header. Incorrect connection between the module
connector and the motherboard header will make the device unable to work or even damage it.
• The front panel audio header supports HD audio by default. If your chassis provides an AC'97 front panel
audio module, refer to the instructions on how to activate AC'97 functionality via the audio software in
Chapter 6, "Configuring 2/4/5.1/7.1-Channel Audio."
• Audio signals will be present on both of the front and back panel audio connections simultaneously. If you
want to mute the back panel audio (only supported when using an HD front panel audio module), refer to
Chapter 6, "Configuring 2/4/5.1/7.1-Channel Audio."
• Some chassis provide a front panel audio module that has separated connectors on each wire instead
of a single plug. For information about connecting the front panel audio module that has different wire
assignments, please contact the chassis manufacturer.
