5) SATA20/1/2/3(SATA3Gb/sConnectors)
The SATA connectors conform to SATA 3Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s standard. Each
SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The AMD Chipset supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and
JBOD. Refer to Chapter 3, "Conguring SATA Hard Drive(s)," for instructions on conguring a RAID array.

• A RAID 0 or RAID 1 conguration requires at least two hard drives. If more than two hard drives are to be
used, the total number of hard drives must be an even number.
• A RAID 10 conguration requires four hard drives.
• To enable hot-plugging for the SATA ports, refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," "Peripherals\SATA
Conguration," for more information.

6) F_PANEL(FrontPanelHeader)
Connect the power switch, reset switch, speaker, chassis intrusion switch/sensor and system status indicator
on the chassis to this header according to the pin assignments below. Note the positive and negative pins
before connecting the cables.
• PW (Power Switch):
Connects to the power switch on the chassis front panel. You may
congure the way to turn off your system using the power switch (refer
to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," "Power Management," for more information).
• SPEAK (Speaker):
Connects to the speaker on the chassis front panel. The system reports
system startup status by issuing a beep code. One single short beep
will be heard if no problem is detected at system startup.
• PLED/PWR_LED (Power LED):
Connects to the power status indicator
on the chassis front panel. The LED is on
when the system is operating. The LED is
off when the system is in S3/S4 sleep state
or powered off (S5).

S0 On
S3/S4/S5 Off
• HD (Hard Drive Activity LED):
Connects to the hard drive activity LED on the chassis front panel. The LED is on when the hard drive is reading or writing
data.
• RES (Reset Switch):
Connects to the reset switch on the chassis front panel. Press the reset switch to restart the computer if the computer freezes
and fails to perform a normal restart.
• CI (Chassis Intrusion Header):
Connects to the chassis intrusion switch/sensor on the chassis that can detect if the chassis cover has been removed. This
function requires a chassis with a chassis intrusion switch/sensor.
The front panel design may differ by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists of power switch, reset switch,
power LED, hard drive activity LED, speaker and etc. When connecting your chassis front panel module to this
header, make sure the wire assignments and the pin assignments are matched correctly.
