4-Pin SATA Power Connector (PS4P1, PS4P2)

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

Reset Switch (SW2) and Reset Button Connector

(CONN2)

Hardware/Software Reset Function (J5): It is a pin

header to switch between hardware and software

reset function for the front panel reset button.

Hardware reset will reset the whole system while

software reset will reset the designated software to

its default value.

DIMM Socket (DIMM1/DIMM2): The 240-pin DDR3 DIMM

is for connecting the DDR3 1333/1600 memory. The

system can support up to 16 GB in maximum with

dual channel configuration. To activate dual channel,

insert memory in both DIMM1 and DIMM2 slot:

SATA

Connector

(SATA1/SATA2,

SATA6G_1,

SATA6G_2): It is for connecting a SATA harddisk to
be served as your system’s storage. The system can
accommodate 2 disk2 (2.5) with SATA Revision 2.0
(SATA1 and SATA2) and 3.0 standard (SATA6G_1,
SATA6G_2). 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 IntelRCSetup->

South Bridge Chipset Configuration->SATA

Configuration.

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.
