Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment Revision 1.0a 7-January -2003
6.1.2.3 5V PRECHARGE
+5 Vdc power that is available on the extended pins. This is used for pre-charging the I/O module.
The enclosure shall provide for a current limit of 4.5 A peak on each 5V pre-charge pin (R=1.1 Ohms).These signals are
the inbound high-speed differential signals that are connected to the serial ATA cable.
6.1.2.4 12V PRECHARGE
+12 Vdc power that is available on the extended pins. This is used for pre-charging the 12V circuitry in the I/O Option
slot module.
