Headers

Two SGPIO (Serial-Link General

Purpose Input/Output) headers

(T-SGPIO-1/T-SGPIO-2) are located

the motherboard. In addition, 3-GPIO

1/2 located on the X8DTL-3/X8DTL-

3F models These headers support

serial link interfaces for the onboard

SATA and SAS connectors. See the

table on the right for pin defi nitions.

Refer to the board layout below for

the location.

I-Button (For X8DTL-3/3F only)

An onboard I-Button, located next to

USB Ports 2~3, is an 1-wire computer

chip enclosed in a durable stainless

steel can. I-Button stores instruc-

tions, provides electronic interface

and allows HostRAID to operate with

Mega-RAID fi rmware.
