Chapter 5: Advanced Motherboard Setup
5-27
5-11 PCI-Express and Serial ATA Connections
SATA 3.0 and S-SATA 3.0 Connections
Ten SATA 3.0 connections are located on the motherboard. Six SATA 3.0 ports
(I-SATA 0-5) are supported by the Intel PCH C612, and four S-SATA 3.0 connections
(S-SATA0-3) are supported by the Intel SCU. Please note that S-SATA2/S-SATA3
can be used as Supermicro SuperDOMs (Disks-on-Module) with built-in power
connectors. These SATA ports provide serial-link signal connections, which are
faster than the connections of Parallel ATA.
Note 1
: Supermicro SuperDOMs are yellow SATADOM connectors with power
pins built in. These connectors do not require separate external power cables and
are backward-compatible with non-Supermicro SATADOMs that require external
power supplies.
Note 2: For more information on the SATA HostRAID confi guration, please refer
to the Intel SATA HostRAID user's guide posted on our website @ http://www.
