Internal connectors

1. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1–4 [Red]; 7-pin SATA5–6 [Black])

Supported by the Intel

3420 chipset, these connectors are for the Serial ATA

signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk drives that allows up to 3Gb/s of data

transfer rate.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1,

RAID 10, or RAID 5 configuration.

• The actual data transfer rate depends on the speed of Serial ATA hard disks

installed.

• The SATA connectors do not support SATA cables with latch.

2. Hard disk activity LED connector (4-pin HDLED1)

This LED connector is for the storage add-on card cable connected to the SATA

or SAS add-on card. The read or write activities of any device connected to the

SATA or SAS add-on card causes the front panel LED to light up.
