2-4-6. Installing a SATA Hard Drive
About SATA Connectors
Your motherboard features three SATA connectors supporting a total of three drives.
SATA refers to Serial ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) is the standard interface
for the IDE hard drives which are currently used in most PCs. These connectors are
well designed and will only fit in one orientation. Locate the SATA connectors on the
motherboard and follow the illustration below to install the SATA hard drives.
To install the Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives, use the SATA cable that supports the Serial
ATA protocol. This SATA cable comes with a SATA power cable. You can connect either
end of the SATA cable to the SATA hard drive or the connector on the motherboard.
Refer to the illustration below for proper installation:
1 Attach either cable end to the connector on the motherboard.
2 Attach the other cable end to the SATA hard drive.
3 Attach the SATA power cable to the SATA hard drive and connect the other
end to the power supply.
