3.6.14 Soft Audio/Soft Modem
Intel® High Definition Audio functionality is enabled through the Mott Canyon 4
Daughter Card. ICH9M supports 4 Intel® High Definition Audio codec. All the four are
routed to MDC header through resistor stuffing option. By default Codec 0 & 1 will be
connected to MDC Card. An on-board header is provided at J9E2 and J9E4 for this
purpose. No direct connection is provided for the Intel® High Definition Audio Card on
the development board; the Mott Canyon 4 card is required to enable the Intel® High
Definition Audio functionality. See Appendix A
for more information on the Mott
Canyon 4 card.
The development board supports low voltage (LV) High definition codecs I/O. R8E7,
R8E8 & R7H2, R7H3 resistors are used to select between 3.3V I/O and 1.5VI/O.

3.6.15 SATA Storage
The development board provides four serial ATA (SATA) connectors. One of the four
serial ATA (SATA) connectors is a “direct connect” connector located at J8J1 (port 0
from ICH9M). The other two serial ATA connectors are “cable connect” connectors
located at J6J3 (port 1 from ICH9M) & J6J2 (port 4 from ICH9M). Also, the
development board supports an eSATA connector located at J7J1 (port 5 of ICH9M).
The eSATA connector is available on the front edge of the board.
Additionally SATA port 4 can be made available at docking connector by stuffing
(C7W2, C7W3, C7V13 and C7V14) and making C7H1, C7H2, C7G9 and C7G8 to “NO
STUFF”.

Port 0 Direct Connect J8J1
Port 1 & Port 4 Cable Connect J6J3 & J6J2
Port 5 eSATA J7J1
These connectors mentioned in Table 10 are for the serial data signals. The board has
a power connector J5J1 to power the serial ATA hard disk drive. A green LED at
CR7H1 indicates activity on the ATA channel.
