four 22-pin SATA connectors to support Serial ATA hard disk drives. The backplane design
incorporates a hot swap feature to allow easy connection or removal of SATA hard disks. The
LEDs on the backplane connect to the front panel LEDs to indicate HDD status. See section
1.7 LED information for details.
