4.3.3 SATA
The Intel® US15W System Controller Hub does not support a SATA interface. Therefore an external controller from
Silicon Image (SIL3132) for PCIexpress is used on microETXexpress®-SP. The controller provides 2 SATA Ports (COMe
SATA#0 and SATA#1) up to 3Gb/s connection with support for RAID Level 0 and 1, Native Command Queing, Port
Multiplier and Staggered Spinup. The pins for the SATA connection are listed in the pinout table for the module
connector.
Note:
Using a SATA harddisk for operating systems requires a driver during installation. Please visit the Kontron
download page for microETXexpress®-SP. Windows XP driver installation via USB floppy when installing from
SATA to SATA does not work with this module. The driver must then be integrated into the installation CD
before installation.
Configuration
The SATA controller is a PCIexpress bus device. The BIOS allocates required system resources during configuration of
the PCIexpress device.
