Connecting SATA Drives
Use the included SATA cables to connect internal SATA drives. Each cable can be used
to connect one internal SATA drive to the Desktop Board’s SATA connectors. The
SATA connectors support 6.0 Gb/s and slower speed SATA devices.
For correct cable function:
1. Observe the precautions in “Before You Begin” on page 27.
2. Attach
one end of the SATA cable to one of the SATA connectors on the board
(Figure 19, A) and attach the other end of the
cable to the SATA drive data
connector (Figure 19, B).
