The Serial ATA connectors are used to connect Serial ATA devices. Connect one end of the Se-
rial ATA data cable to a SATA connector and the other end to your Serial ATA device.
The system board package comes with a power cable that must be connected from the system
board’s peripheral power connector to the SATA drive’s power connector in order to provide
power to the drive.
BIOS Setting
Configure the Serial ATA drives in the Advanced menu (“SATA Configuration” submenu) of the
BIOS. Refer to the chapter 3 for more information.
