Sil5723 Serial ATA connectors

(7-pin SATA_E1 [orange, port 0], SATA_E2 [white, port 1])
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard

disk drives. If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a EZ

Backup or a Super Speed configuration with the Drive Xpert Technology

through the onboard Silicon Image

®

Sil5723 controller.

Before using the Drive Xpert technology, make sure that you have connected

the SATA signal cables and installed SATA hard disk drives.

Refer to 4.3.11 ASUS Drive Xpert for detailed application instructions.

• The SATA_E1 (orange, port 0) and SATA_E2 (white, port 1) ports are for

SATA hard drives only. ATAPI device is not supported.

• Before using the Drive Xpert function, ensure that you have back up all

your data in your hard disks.

EZ Backup erases all original data in the hard disk connected to the

SATA_E2 (white, port 1) connector on the motherboard.

Super Speed erases all original data in both hard disks.
