Connecting the Serial ATA (SATA) Cables

SATA cables support the Serial ATA protocol. Each cable can be used to connect a
single internal SATA drive to the Desktop Board. For correct cable function:
1. Observe the precaution in "Before You Begin" on page 31.
2. Attach one end of the SATA cable to one of the black SATA connectors on the
board (Figure 22, A) and attach the other end of the cable to the SATA drive
(Figure 22, B).
NOTE
Do not attach an internal SATA drive to the red external SATA (eSATA)
connector.
