Attaching Serial ATA (SATA) Drives

The boxed desktop board package includes two Serial ATA (SATA) cables.
The cable (4-conductor) supports the Serial ATA protocol and connects a single
drive to the desktop board. Either end of the cable can be connected to the
SATA drive or the connector on the board.
For correct cable function (see Figure 7):
1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 3.
2. Attach either cable end to the connector (A) on the board.
3. Attach the other cable end (B) to the drive.

NOTE
The Serial ATA boot option is disabled by default in the BIOS Setup
program. To boot from an SATA drive, the Serial ATA boot option must
be enabled in the BIOS.
NOTE
Some Serial ATA drives may require a power adapter cable. Contact the
manufacturer of the SATA drive to determine the best method for powering
the SATA drive.
