Serial ATA Ports
Two SATA 3.0 Ports (I-SATA0/1), colored in white, and
eight SATA 2 Ports (I-SATA2~5, S-SATA0~3), colored
in black are located on the motherboard. I-SATA ports
are supported by the Intel PCH chip; while S-SATA
ports are supported by SCU (Storage Control Unit).
These ports provide serial-link signal connections,
which are faster than the connections of Parallel ATA.
See the table on the right for pin definitions.
SAS2 Ports (X9DAX-7F Only)
Eight Serial_ Attached_SCSI Ports (L-SAS 0~3, L-SAS 4~7) provide
Serial_Attached SCSI connections on the motherboard. On the X9DAX-7F/-7TF,
SAS Connections can function as SATA ports if the connectors are used with the
mini-ipass cables. See the table on the right for pin definitions.
