SATA Ports
The X11SCW-F has six SATA 3.0 ports (I-SATA2 ~ I-SATA7) supported by the Intel C246
chipset. These SATA ports support RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10. SATA ports provide serial-link signal
connections, which are faster than the connections of Parallel ATA.
Note: Supermicro SuperDOMs are yellow SATADOM connectors with power pins built in and
do not require separate external power cables. These connectors are backwards compatible
with non-Supermicro SATADOMS that require an external power supply.
M.2 Slot
The X11SCW-F motherboard has two M.2 slots. M.2 was formerly known as Next Generation
Form Factor (NGFF) and serves to replace mini PCI-E. M.2 allows for a variety of card sizes,
increased functionality, and spatial efficiency. The hybrid M.2-H_1 slot supports PCI-E 3.0 x4
(32 Gb/s) SSD cards in a 2260/2280/2210 form factor or SATA 3.0, while the M.2-P_1 slot
only supports PCI-E 3.0 x4.
Unit Identifier Switch/UID LED Indicator
A Unit Identifier (UID) switch and an LED indicator are located on the motherboard. The UID
switch is located at JUIDB1, which is next to the VGA port on the back panel. The UID LED
(LE1) is located next to the UID switch. When you press the switch, the LED will be turned
on, which provides easy identification of a system unit that may be in need of service. Press
the switch again to turn off the LED indicator.
Note: UID can also be triggered via IPMI on the motherboard. For more information on IPMI,
please refer to the IPMI User's Guide posted on our website:
