5) SATA3 0/1/2/3/4/5 (SATA 6Gb/s Connectors) The SATA connectors conform to SATA 6Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and SATA 1.5Gb/s standard. Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The Intel® Q87 Chipset supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10. Refer to Chapter 3, "Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s)," for instruc- tions on configuring a RAIGD.QaBrOraFyM. G.QBOFM G.QBOFM Pin No. Definition Pin No. Definition SATA3 531 420 7 1 GND 2 TXP 1 3 TXN 5 RXN 6 RXP 7 GND 7 1 4 GND •• A RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration requires at least two hard drives. If more than two hard drives are to be used, the total number of hard drives must be an even number. •• A RAID 5 configuration requires at least three hard drives. (The total number of hard drives does not have to be an even number.) •• A RAID 10 configuration requires four hard drives. 6) MINI_PCIE_MSATA (Mini PCIe and mSATA interfaces share the same connector) Selects whether to install a mini PCIe card or a solid-state drive. The mSATA connector conforms to SATA 6Gb/s standard and can connect to a single solid-state drive. When the mSATA connector is installed with a solid-state drive, the SATA3 5 connector will become unavailable. There is not such limitation if you select to install a mini PCIe card. MINI_PCIE_MSATA 7) F_PANEL (Front Panel Header) Connect the power switch, reset switch, speaker, and system status indicator on the chassis to this header according to the pin assignments below. Note the positive and negative pins before connecting the cables. 20 19 •• PLED/PWR_LED (Power LED, Yellow/Purple): PWM Switch (X58A-OC) BIOS Switcher (X58A-OC) 1 M_SATA Speaker SPEAK- PWR_LEDPWR_LEDPWR_LED+ Power LED System Status LED S0 On SPEAK+ CI+ Chassis Intru- S3/S4/S5 Off Power Switch PWPW+ CIRES+ RES- sion Header Reset Switch Connects to the power status indicator on the chassis front panel. The LED is on when the Power LED PLEDPLED+ HDHD+ 21 DIP Hard Drive Activity LED system is operating. The LED is off when the system is in S3/S4 sleep state or powered off (S5). •• PW (Power Switch, Red): 1 23 Connects to the power switch on the chassis front panel. You may configure the way to turn off your DIP 1 23 PCIe power connector (SATA)(X58A-OC) DIP 1 23 1 DIP 1 23 1 system 1using the power switch (refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," "Power Management," for more information). •• SPEAK (Speaker, Orange): Connects to the speaker on the chassis front panel. The system reports system startup status by issuing Voltage measurement module(X58A-OC) a beep code. One single short beep will be heard if no problem is detected at system startup. •• HD (Hard Drive Activity LED, Blue): Connects to the hard drive activity LED on the chassis front panel. The LED is on when the hard drive is reading or writing data. •• RES (Reset Switch, Green): Connects to the reset switch on the chassis front panel. Press the reset switch to restart the computer if the computer freezes and fails to perform a normal restart. DB_PORT •• CI (Chassis Intrusion Header, Gray): Connects to the chassis intrusion switch/sensor on the chassis that can detect if the chassis cover has been removed. This function requires a chassis with a chassis intrusion switch/sensor. The front panel design may differ by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists of power switch, reset switch, power LED, hard drive activity LED, speaker and etc. When connecting your chassis front panel module to this header, make sure the wire assignments and the pin assignments are matched correctly. - 14 -
