Connecting Serial ATA
To connect a serial ATA disk, you have to have a 7-pin serial ATA cable. Connect
two ends of the serial ATA cable to the serial ATA header on the motherboard and
the disk. Like every other traditional disk, you also have to connect a power cable.
Please be noted that it is a jumper free implement; you don’t need to set jumpers
to define a master or slave disk. When serial ATA hard disks are installed on serial
ATA ports, the one connected on Port0 (SATA1) will be set as the first boot device
automatically.
