•The Serial ATA cable is smaller and more flexible allowing easier routing inside the chassis. The lower pin count of the Serial ATA cable eliminates the problem caused by the wide, flat ribbon cables of the Parallel ATA interface.
•Hot plug support for Serial ATA drive and connections are not available in this motherboard.
•Adjust the necessary BIOS settings when using the Serial ATA interface.
•Install Windows® XP™ Service Pack 1 when using Serial ATA.
