Installing a SATA DOM
The system board is equipped with two SATA 3.0 ports that support the installation of SATA
DOMs that can be used as a boot drive, system backup and recovery device, etc.
These SATA ports provide power so external power supply is not needed (however, there is an
5V DC-out power connector next to SATA port 0 in case your SATA DOM requires an external
power connector). Align the SATA port with the connector of a SATA DOM before inserting the
SATA DOM.
