Mass Storage Interfaces
SATA
The EPM-31 provides one 3 GB/s SATA port (J2). The SATA connector is a standard 7-pin
right-angle connector with latching capability.
Power to the SATA drive is provided by the ATX power supply. Note that the standard SATA
drive power connector is different from the typical 4-pin Molex connector used on IDE drives.
Most current ATX power supplies provide SATA connectors, and many SATA drives provide
both types of power connectors. If the power supply you are using does not provide SATA
connectors, adapters are available.
