To connect a Serial ATA disk, you have to have a 7-pin serial ATA cable. Connect two ends of the serial ATA cable to the serial ATA header
on the motherboard and the disk. Like every other traditional disk, you also have to connect a power cable. Please be noted that it is a
jumper free implement; you don't need to set jumpers to define a master or slave disk. When serial ATA hard disks are installed on serial
ATA ports, the one connected on Port 0(SATA 1) will be set as the first boot device automatically. Please be noted that it doesn't support
Hot-Plug in function.
