This motherboard adopts JMicron JMB360 chipset that supports Serial ATAII

(SATAII) hard disk. It also adopts ULi M1567 south bridge chipset that supports

Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks, and supports RAID functions. You may install SATA

hard disks on this motherboard for internal storage devices. This section will

guide you to install the SATA hard disks.

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

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

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

connector.

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

1. If you plan to use RAID 0, RAID 1, or JBOD functions on SATA, SATA

HDDs must be operated in “RAID” mode.

2. “RAID” and “non-RAID” mode are options under “SATA Operation Mode” in

BIOS setup. Please refer to page 30 for details. They need different drivers

during actual operation.
