B85H3-M6 USER MANUAL

SATA3_1~4 connectors are used to support the Serial ATA 6.0Gb/s device, SATA 5 con-
nector is used to support the Serial ATA 3.0Gb/s device, simpler disk drive cabling
and easier PC assembly. It eliminates limitations of the current Parallel ATA inter-
face. But maintains register compatibility and software compatibility with Parallel
ATA.

3. COM: Onboard serial port header

Connect a serial port extension bracket to this header to add a serial port to your
