2-10 SATA Connections
SATA 3.0 Connections
Ten SATA 3.0 ports (I-SATA0-3, I-SATA4/5, S-SA-
TA0-3) are located on the motherboard. I-SATA0-5
are supported by the Intel PCH, and S-SATA0-3 are
supported by the Intel SCU. I-SATA4/5 can be used
with Supermicro SuperDOMs which are yellow SATA
DOM connectors with power pins built in, and do not
require external cables. Supermicro SuperDOMs are
backward-compatible with regular SATA HDDs or
SATA DOMs that require external power cables. All
these SATA ports provide serial-link signal connec-
tions, which are faster than the connections of Paral-
lel ATA. See the table on the right for pin definitions.
Note: For more information on SATA HostRAID configuration, please refer
to the Intel SATA HostRAID User's Guide posted on our website @ http://
