You will find the claret serial ATA connectors in motherboard easily. To connect a Serial ATA disk, you have to have a 7-pin serial ATA
cable which is red too. Connect two ends of the serial ATA cable to the serial ATA header on the motherboard and the disk. Like every
other traditional disk, you also have to connect a power cable. Please be noted that it is a jumper free implement; you don't need to set
jumpers to define a master or slave disk. When serial ATA hard disks are installed on serial ATA ports, the one connected on Port
0(SATA 1) will be set as the first boot device automatically. Please be noted that it doesn't support Hot-Plug in function.
Note: These images are for example only; they may not be exactly the same as the motherboard you purchased.
