Connecting the Serial ATA Cable

The SATA cable (4-conductor) supports the Serial ATA protocol and connects a single drive to the
desktop board. Either end of the cable can be connected to the SATA drive or the connector on the
board.
For correct cable function:

2. Attach the locking cable end to the connector (Figure 21, A) on the board.
3. Attach the cable end without the lock to the drive (Figure 21, B).
