4.6 Storage Ports

I-SATA 3.0 Ports
The X12DHM-6 has an I-SATA 3.0 header (JS1) with support for eight I-SATA ports (I-SATA0~7)
on the motherboard. These SATA ports are supported by the Intel C621A chipset. Refer to
the Motherboard manual for the locations of JS1 in its layout image.
M.2 Slots
The X12DHM-6 motherboard has two hybrid NVMe or SATA M.2 slots (M.2-H1, M.2-H2).
M.2 allows for a variety of card sizes, increased functionality, and spatial efficiency. The M.2
slot on the motherboard supports PCIe 3.0 x2 or SATA 3.0 devices in the 2280 and 22110
form factors.
NVMe Connectors
Four NVMe connectors (P1_NVME0, P1_NVME1, P2_NVME0, P2_NVME1) provide onboard
NVMe connections. Use these NVMe connectors to attach high-speed PCIe storage devices.
Note: When installing an NVMe device on a motherboard, please be sure to connect the first
NVMe port first (P1_NVME0/P2_NVME0) for your system to work properly.
