SATA Storage
The Intel 6 Series chipset has six SATA ports, out of which two ports, ports 0 and 1,
support speeds up to 6 Gbps. SATA port 0 is connected to J8J1 (direct connect), port
1 is connected to J7J1 (cable connect) with power connector at J6H1. Port 2 is
connected to SATA ODD connector J9E7. Ports 3 and 4 are eSATA connectors (J6J1
and J7J1). Port 5 is routed to docking.

J9C1 (Docking connector)
The development board has a power connector (J8J1) to power the serial ATA hard
disk drive (for direct connect). For cable connect SATA, the power connector is J6H1.
A green LED at CR7G2 indicates activity on SATA channel.
Y-Power cable needs to be connected first to the device on Port 1 before connecting
the signal cable. Hot swap is supported only on port 1.
The eSATA drives should be externally powered. Hence, there is no power supply
support for them on the motherboard.
3.2.7
Displays
The development board supports the following displays via the PCH.
Please note that display connectors DP/HDMI are on Port D of the PCH. Port B and C
can be used through the Eaglemont 2 Fab 3 add-in card.
CRT
A right-angled CRT connector has been provided on-board (J1A2). Optional routing to
the docking connector is supported through a CRT DOCK Switch (U6C1).
LVDS
LVDS support is very similar to that used on earlier platforms. Connector is at J7D3.
