Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1-4)

These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard disk

and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3Gb/s is backward compatible with Serial ATA

1.5Gb/s specification. The data transfer rate of the Serial ATA 3Gb/s is faster than the

standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s (Ultra DMA133).

Install the Windows

®

XP Service Pack 2 or later version before using Serial ATA.

6.

LPT connector (26-1 pin LPT)

The LPT (Line Printing Terminal) connector supports devices such as a printer. LPT is

standardized as IEEE 1284, which is the parallel port interface on IBM PC-compatible

computers.
