P5Q Pro Drive Xpert SATA Ports

I have the P5Q Pro MB, running the E3110 and 8GB, which I like a lot. However, now I need to go beyond the normal 6 red SATA slots and am trying, unsuccessfully, to use the orange and white pair.

What needs to be done to make these (the orange and white ones) available as normal SATA ports? I can't even get the BIOS to see a disk plugged in to the orange SATA plug.

I'm pretty sure I've already done that in the BIOS - without any useful result. (I'll check later, but I can't take the system down at the moment due due to a long ongoing backup process.)

Have you actually made it work - or are you just kibitzing based on reading the manual?

Then I guess you've not seen the many posts on many BB's about this same topic, almost all from people like myself - who did read the manual but still could not make it work.

As a former scientist and manager of engineering groups, I can assure you that even American engineers are often piss poor at documentation for end users. And going from Japanese to English typically adds one more heavy layer of ambiguity.
