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 Server Board's SATA connectors. The blue SATA connectors
support 6.0 Gb/s and slower speed SATA devices while the black SATA connectors support 3.0
Gb/s and slower speed SATA devices.
For correct cable function:
1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 18.
2. Attach one end of the SATA cable to one of the SATA connectors on the board (Figure 17, A)
and attach the other end of the cable to the SATA drive data connector (Figure 17, B).
