2.15  Serial ATA (SATA) / Serial ATA2 (SATA2) Hard Disks Installation

This motherboard adopts Intel

®

 X79 chipset that supports Serial ATA (SATA) / Serial 

ATA2 (SATA2) hard disks and RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10 and Intel 

Rapid Storage3.0) functions. You may install SATA / SATA2 hard disks on this moth-

erboard for internal storage devices. This section will guide you to install the SATA / 

SATA2 hard disks.

STEP 1:  Install the SATA / SATA2 hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis. 

STEP 2:  Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA / SATA2 hard disk.

STEP 3:  Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard’s SATA2 con-

nector.

STEP 4:  Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the SATA / SATA2 hard 

disk. 

2.16  Serial ATA3 (SATA3) Hard Disks Installation

This motherboard adopts Intel

®

 X79 chipset that supports Serial ATA3 (SATA3) hard 

disks and RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10 and Intel Rapid Storage3.0) 

functions for SATA3_0 and SATA3_1 connectors. It also adopts ASMedia ASM1061 

chipset that supports Serial ATA3 (SATA3) hard disks for SATA3_A0 connector. You 

may install SATA3 hard disks on this motherboard for internal storage devices. This 

section will guide you to install the SATA3 hard disks.

STEP 1:  Install the SATA3 hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis. 

STEP 2:  Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA3 hard disk.

STEP 3:  Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard’s SATA3 con-

nector.

STEP 4:  Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the SATA3 hard disk. 

Please be noted that SATA3_A0 does not support RAID function. If you 

want to use RAID function on SATA3 connectors, please use SATA3_0 and 

SATA3_1 connectors.
