3. Serial ATA connectors
(7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4)
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA
hard disk drives.
When using the connectors in Standard IDE mode, connect the primary
(boot) hard disk drive to the SATA1/2 connector. Refer to the table
below for the recommended SATA hard disk drive connections.
Connect the right-angle side
of SATA signal cable to SATA
device. Or you may connect
the right-angle side of SATA
cable to the onboard SATA
port to avoid mechanical
conflict with a long card in
PCI2 slot.
