Connecting a Slimline SATA Drive

You can use the SATA-to-Slimline SATA adapter cable to connect a slimline SATA drive
to a standard SATA data connector on the Desktop Board. This adapter splits a
Slimline SATA connector into a standard SATA data cable and a power connector which
plugs into a 4-pin 5 V Molex* power connector from an ATX12V power supply.

For correct adapter cable function:
1. Observe the precautions in “Before You Begin” on page 23.
2. Attach the adapter cable’s standard SATA data connector (Figure 17, A) to one of

the SATA data connectors on the Desktop Board and attach the adaptor cable’s
Slimline connector to the corresponding connector (Figure 17, B) on the Slimline
SATA drive.

3. Connect the adapter cable’s power connector (Figure 17, C) to a 4-pin 5 V Molex

power connector from the chassis power supply.
