2-10 SATA/SAS Connections

Serial ATA Ports

Two SATA 3.0 Ports (I-SATA0/1), colored in white, and
six SATA 2 Ports (I-SATA2/3, S-SATA0~3), colored in
black, are located on the motherboard. I-SATA ports are
supported by the Intel PCH chip; while S-SATA ports
are supported by SCU (Storage Control Unit). These
ports provide serial-link signal connections, which are
faster than the connections of Parallel ATA. See the
table on the right for pin definitions.

SAS2 Ports (X9DA7 Only)

Eight Ser ial _ At tached _ SCSI Por ts (L- SAS 0 ~3, L- SAS 4~7) provide
Serial_Attached SCSI connections on the motherboard. SAS Connections can
function as SATA ports if the connectors are used with the mini-ipass cables. See
the table on the right for pin definitions.
