To connect a Serial ATA disk, you have to have a 7-pin Serial ATA cable. Connect two ends of the Serial ATA cable to the Serial
ATA header on the motherboard and the disk. Like every other traditional disk, you also have to connect a power cable. Please
note that it is a jumper free implement; you don’t need to set jumpers to define a master or slave disk. When connecting two
Serial ATA disks, the system will automatically take the one connected to “Serial ATA 1” header as a master disk.
Note: This picture is for example only; it may not exactly be the same motherboard.
