There is a 5V_SATA_PWR connector that is
suitable for powering 5V hard-disks trough the
board. To keep the low form factor we have placed
the small JST connector.
You can make an adapter cable accordingly. The
other options is to check the SATA-CABLE-SET
that we have available.

Pay note the two jumpers 5V_E_SATA and PC3/PB located at the bottom of the board (under the
HDMI connector). The first one 5V_E_SATA is open by default because the board has software
control of the powering for the hard disk. If you close 5V_E_SATA there would always be 5V at the
5V_SATA_PWR connector.
Which pin does the software control of the SATA powering is determined by the position of the
PC3/PB8 jumper. By default PC3 is used.
