SATA Port
The Bengal provides one 3 GB/s SATA port (J2). The SATA connector is a standard 7-pin right-
angle connector with latching capability.
Power to the SATA drive is provided by the ATX power supply. Note that the standard SATA drive
power connector is different from the typical 4-pin Molex connector used on IDE drives. Most
current ATX power supplies provide SATA connectors, and many SATA drives provide both types
of power connectors. If the power supply you are using does not provide SATA connectors,
adapters are available.
