About SATA Connectors

Your motherboard features four SATA connectors supporting a total of four drives.

SATA refers to Serial ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) is the standard interface

for the IDE hard drives which are currently used in most PCs. These connectors are

well designed and will only fit in one orientation. Locate the SATA connectors on the

motherboard and follow the illustration below to install the SATA hard drives.

To install the Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives, use the SATA cable that supports the Serial

ATA protocol. This SATA cable comes with a SATA power cable. You can connect either

end of the SATA cable to the SATA hard drive or the connector on the motherboard.

Refer to the illustration below for proper installation:

1 Attach either cable end to the connector on the motherboard.

2 Attach the other cable end to the SATA hard drive.

3 Attach the SATA power cable to the SATA hard drive and connect the other

end to the power supply.
