About SATA Connectors
Your motherboard features two SATA connectors supporting a total of two
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 (see page 22) and follow the
illustration below to install the SATA hard drives.
Note: These connectors are available when your motherboard supports the
SiS964 Southbridge only.

the Serial ATA protocol. This SATA cable comes with an SATA power cable.
You can connect either end of the SATA cable to the SATA hard drive or the
connecter on the motherboard.
