SATA/SAS Connections (SAS: for X8STi-
3F only)
Six Serial ATA (SATA) connectors (I-SATA
0~5) are located on the motherboard. In
addition to six SATA ports, eight SAS con-
nections are also located on the X8STi-3F.
These Serial Link connections provide faster
data transmission than the connections of
traditional Parallel ATA. The SATA connectors
are supported by the Intel ICH10R. The SAS
connectors on the X8STi-3F are supported by
the LSI SAS controller. See the table on the
