5-12 SATA and Floppy Drive Connections

SATA Ports

Six Serial ATA (SATA) ports (I-SATA
0~5) are located on the X8SIE-F
motherboard (4 SATA ports on the
X8SIE). These Serial Link connections
provide faster data transmission than
traditional Parallel ATA. See the table
on the right for pin defi nitions.

Floppy Connector

The fl oppy connector is located next
to the DIMM slots on the motherboard.
See the table on the right for pin
defi nitions.
Note the following when connecting
the fl oppy cable:
•
The fl oppy disk drive cable has
seven twisted wires.
•
A red mark on a wire typically des-
ignates the location of pin 1.
•
A single fl oppy disk drive ribbon
cable has 34 wires and two con-
nectors to provide for two fl oppy
disk drives. The connector with
twisted wires always connects to
drive A, and the connector that
does not have twisted wires al-
ways connects to drive B.
