5.6.2 Installing Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks

Installing Serial ATA (SATA) hard disks requires the use of a new SATA
data cable (4-conductor) which supports the Serial ATA protocol and a
SATA power cable. Any end of the SATA data cable can be connected to
the SATA hard disk or the SATA connector on the motherboard.
1. Both the data and power SATA cables are new cables. You cannot
use the older 40-pin 80-conductor IDE or regular IDE power cables
with SATA hard drives.
2. Carefully follow any technical instructions that come from the hard
disk manufacturer.
To install the Serial ATA cable:
1. Attach either cable end to the SATA connector on the motherboard.
2. Attach the other cable end to the SATA hard disk.
3. Connect the SATA power cables.
