4-Pin SATA Power Connector (SATAPWR1)

Power-switch Connector (SW1): Power tact for booting

up the system.

AT Mode Power Button Connector (CONN1): It is for

connecting the power switch in AT mode

DIMM Socket (J12/J13/J14/J5): The 240-pin DDR3 DIMM

is for connecting the DDR3 1066/1333/1600 memory.

The system can support up to 32 GB in maximum.

Channel information lists below:
J12 Channel B DIMM1 (black)

J13 Channel B DIMM0 (blue)
J14 Channel A DIMM1 (black)

J15 Channel A DIMM0 (blue)

Note: Since the system is capable of Dual

Channel Architecture, some installation

guidelines have to be met to enable Dual

Channel mode as directed. To insert two DIMMs

on the system, insert DIMMS on slot J13 (blue)

and J15 (blue). And use slot J12 (black) and J14

(black) if more slots are required.

SATA Connector (SATA1): It is for connecting a SATA

harddisk to be served as your system’s storage. The
system can accommodate 1 disk (2.5 or 3.5") with
SATA Revision 2.0 standard. The controller contains
two modes of operation—a legacy mode using I/O
space, and an AHCI mode using memory space.
Software that uses legacy mode will not have AHCI
capabilities.
The AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) is a

programming interface which defines transactions

between the SATA controller and software and

enables advanced performance and usability with

SATA. Platforms supporting AHCI may take advantage

of performance features such as no master/slave

designation for SATA devices—each device is treated

as a master—and hardware assisted native command

queuing. AHCI also provides usability enhancements

such as Hot-Plug.

Note:

You will need to configure your SATA as

1.

AHCI mode in the BIOS in order to use the

advanced features of SATA. To do this, access

the BIOS menu under Advanced-> SATA

Configuration->SATA mode.

Also, the hotplug enable/disable option is

2.

under the same SATA Configuration menu.

Enable the hotplug function explicitly in this

menu if you need it.
