1.3.9 RAID IDE Disk Drive Connectors (NT70-SA/SR)
Only connect IDE hard drives to the RAID IDE connectors.
Only two drives can be configured as RAID. Since both of these drives
must be in Master mode, striping or mirroring must be done between
RAID IDE channels; not between drives that are chained on the same
channel.
PCI slot and RAID IDE use the same IRQ. If you are using add-in cards
such as PCI audio card or SCSI card, please do not install it into PCI slot .
By default, the Promise RAID controller is enabled. If you are not using the
onboard RAID, set JP74 to Disabled ( -3 On).
The RAID LED connector (J54) is used to connect a LED cable connector.
The LED will light when the hard drive is being accessed.
