4.1 PCH Board Connections and Jumpers
I-SATA 0/1 & M.2 Connectors
Two SATA 3.0 ports (I-SATA 0/1) are provided on the PCH Board. These ports are supported
by the Intel PCH chip and are used with Supermicro SuperDOMs (Disk-on-Module) built-in
power pins. SuperDOM connectors are backward-compatible with regular SATA HDDs and
SATA DOMs.
In addition, two M.2 connectors (J7, J8) are also located on the PCH board to provide SATA
2.0 (or PCI-E 2.0) support.

A UID (Unit Identifier) switch and LED indicator (LED2) are located on the PCH Board. LED2
is located next to the UID switch. Pressing the UID switch turns on the UID LED. Press the
UID switch again to turn it off. These UID indicator provide easy identification of a system
unit that may be in need of service.
