Note 2 This chapter describes RAID Configuration Instructions for the Intel ESB2 RAID Controller designed for the Windows OS C 1 Introduction to Serial ATA and Parallel ATA To configure the SATA RAID functions you must first use the Intel ESB2 SATA RAID Utility program to configure the RAID Level that you desire before installing the Windows XP 2000 2003 operating system and other software drivers The necessary drivers are all included on the Supermicro CD that came packaged with your motherboard Note that the current version of the ESB2 SATA RAID Utility can only support Windows XP 2000 2003 Operating Systems Serial ATA SATA Serial ATA SATA is a physical storage interface that uses a single cable with a minimum of four wires to create a point to point connection between devices It is a serial link which supports transfer rates up to 3 0 Gbps Because the serial cables used in SATA are thinner than the traditional cables used in Parallel ATA PATA SATA systems have better airflow and can be installed in smaller chassis than Parallel ATA In addition the cables used in PATA are limited to a length of 40cm while Serial ATA cables can be up to one meter in length Overall SATA provides better functionality than PATA Introduction to the Intel ESB2 Serial RAID Controller Hub Located in the South Bridge of the 5000P chipset the I O Controller Hub ESB2 provides the I O subsystem with access to the rest of the system It suppor
