top and the bottom eSATAII ports of the I/O shield, you have to connect one of
the orange SATAII connector (SATAII_6 (Port 5); see p.11 No.19 or p.12 No.18)
and one of the orange eSATAII connector (eSATAII_BOTTOM (Port 5); see p.11/
12 No.1) with a SATA data cable first, and then connect the other orange SATAII
connector (SATAII_5 (Port 4); see p.11 No.21 or p.12 No.20) and the other orange
eSATAII connector (eSATAII_TOP (Port 4); see p.11 No.39 or p.12 No.38) with
the other SATA data cable. After that, both the top and the bottom eSATAII ports
