5) SATA2 0/1/2/3 (SATA 3Gb/s Connectors)
The SATA connectors conform to SATA 3Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s standard. Each
SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The AMD Chipset supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and
JBOD. Refer to Chapter 3, "Coniguring SATA Hard Drive(s)," for instructions on coniguring a RAID array.

•
A RAID 0 or RAID 1 coniguration requires at least two hard drives. If more than two hard drives
are to be used, the total number of hard drives must be an even number.
•
A RAID 10 coniguration requires four hard drives.
•
To enable hot-plugging for the SATA ports, refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," "Peripherals\
SATA Coniguration," for more information.

6) F_PANEL (Front Panel Header)
Connect the power switch, reset switch, speaker, chassis intrusion switch/sensor and system status indicator
on the chassis to this header according to the pin assignments below. Note the positive and negative pins
before connecting the cables.
•
PW
(Power Switch):
Connects to the power switch on the chassis front panel.
You may conigure the way to turn off your system using
the power switch (refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," "Power
Management," for more information).
•
SPEAK
(Speaker):
Connects to the speaker on the chassis front panel. The
system reports system startup status by issuing a beep
code. One single short beep will be heard if no problem is
detected at system startup.
•
PLED/PWR_LED
(Power LED):
Connects to the power status
indicator on the chassis front panel.
The LED is on when the system is
operating. The LED is off when the
system is in S3/S4 sleep state or
powered off (S5).

HD
(Hard Drive Activity LED):
Connects to the hard drive activity LED on the chassis front panel. The LED is on when the hard drive is
reading or writing data.
•
RES
(Reset Switch):
Connects to the reset switch on the chassis front panel. Press the reset switch to restart the computer if the
computer freezes and fails to perform a normal restart.
•
CI
(Chassis Intrusion Header):
Connects to the chassis intrusion switch/sensor on the chassis that can detect if the chassis cover has been
removed. This function requires a chassis with a chassis intrusion switch/sensor.
The front panel design may differ by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists of power switch,
reset switch, power LED, hard drive activity LED, speaker and etc. When connecting your chassis
front panel module to this header, make sure the wire assignments and the pin assignments are
matched correctly.
