Intel ICH7R Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1 [red], SATA3 [black], SATA4 [black], ) These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk drives. If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5 configuration with the Intel Matrix Storage Technology through the onboard Intel ICH7R RAID controller. You may create a RAID 10 set through a cross-RAID configuration with the onboard Intel ICH7R RAID controller and ASUS EZ-Backup. Refer to Chapter 5 for details on how to set up Serial ATA RAID configurations.
These connectors are set to Standard IDE mode by default. In Standard IDE mode, you can connect Serial ATA boot/data hard disk drives to these connectors. If you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set the Configure SATA As item in the BIOS to [RAID]. See section 4.3.6 IDE Configuration for details. For RAID 5, use at least three hard disk drives. For RAID 10 (cross-RAID configuration), use three hard disk drives on these connectors, and one hard disk drive on EZ_RAID1. See section 5.4.5 Cross-RAID configuration for details. Use two Serial ATA hard disk drives for each RAID 0 or RAID 1 set.

Resetting disks to non-RAID
An HDD that has been previously configured as part of another RAID set in another platform is called a broken RAID HDD. When you install a broken RAID HDD, you cannot select this HDD when configuring a RAID set through the JMB363 utility. If you still want to use this broken RAID HDD as part of the RAID set configured through the JMB363, you may do so by resetting the disk to non-RAID. You will, however, lose all data and previous RAID configurations.
To reset disks to non-RAID: 1. In the main JMB363 RAID BIOS menu, highlight Revert HDD to nonRAID using the up/down arrow key then press <Enter>.
2. Use the space bar to select the HDD that you want to reset to nonRAID. 3. A selected HDD shows a sign before it. A dialogue box appears to confirm the action. Press <Y> to confirm; otherwise, press <N>.
Pressing <Y> deletes all the data in the HDD.
Repairing a Mirror conflict
A Mirror conflict occurs when one or both disks in a RAID 1 (Mirror) configuration are unplugged from the system, then plugged in again. Since both disks contain exactly the same data, the system will be unable to determine which of the two is the source drive. This option allows you to set the source drive and rebuild the Mirror drive according to the contents of the source drive. To repair a Mirror conflict: 1. In the main JMB363 RAID BIOS menu, highlight Repair Mirror Conflict using the up/down arrow key then press <Enter>.
2. Use the space bar to select the HDD that you want to set as source drive. 3. The selected HDD shows a sign before it. Using the <TAB>, move to the RAID Disk Drive List menu and highlight the RAID set that you want to rebuild. Press <Del> to begin rebuilding the Mirror configuration. A status bar at the bottom of the screen shows the progress of the rebuilding.
