2-9 Serial ATA and Floppy Drive Connections

Note the following conditions when connecting the Serial ATA and floppy disk drive cables:

•Be sure to use the correct cable for each connector. Refer to Page 1-1 for cables that came with your shipment.

•A red mark on a wire indicates the location of pin 1.

SATA Connectors

Six Serial ATA (SATA) connectors (I-SATA 0~5) are located on the motherboard to provide serial link connections. Se- rial Link connections provide faster data transmission than those of the traditional Parallel ATA. These SATA connectors are supported by the Intel ICH10R. See the table on the right for pin definitions.
