2.1.5 Serial ATA Interfaces
The CP-RIO3-04S provides two onboard SATA II interfaces implemented as two onboard
SATA connectors, J5 and J6, used to connect standard SATA devices via a SATA cable. A
SATA II repeater is provided on the CP-RIO3-04S to improve the signal performance.
The following figure and table provide pinout information for the SATA connectors J5 and J6.
Note ...
When using a Serial ATA cable, it is recommended to use a special right-angled
Serial ATA cable due to possible space limitations within the system. For further
information, please contact Kontron.
Note ...
To ensure secure connectivity, the SATA connector supports the use of SATA II
cables (SATA cables with locking latch).
SATA II support for external SATA devices is a function of the backplane, the
SATA device and cabling. In general, the more connectos and cabling involved,
the less chance of achieving proper external SATA II device operation.
