Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4)
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard disk

and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3Gb/s is backward compatible with Serial ATA

1.5Gb/s specification. The data transfer rate of the Serial ATA 3Gb/s is faster than that

of the standard parallel ATA (133MB/s).

Install the Windows

XP Service Pack 1 before using Serial ATA.

This connector is for a chassis-mounted front panel audio I/O module that supports

either High Definition Audio or AC`97 audio standard. Connect one end of the front

panel audio I/O module cable to this connector.

connector to avail of the motherboard high-definition audio capability.
