It means according to the motherboard manual that each SATA port supports one 6GB device, so you will be able to connect only 5 devices total. manual link: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3424#manual >ps - Note the mobo is given with a revision number.

I have seen cases where the board won''t boot until the BIOS have been flashed to support new CPU's that is what lead me to buy only Intel boards and CPU's; they always get support first for their own CPUs. well that is what seems to me:-) Regards Edward -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
