2. 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 or later versions before using Serial ATA. • The motherboard does not provide a floppy disk drive connector. You could use a USB floppy disk drive when installing Windows® XP operating system on a hard disk drive that includes a RAID/AHCI set. • Due to Windows® XP limitation, Windows® XP may not recognize the USB floppy disk drive. • For more details on RAID/AHCI, refer to the RAID/AHCI Supplementary Guide included in the folder named Manual in the support DVD. 3. Front panel audio connector (10-1 pin AAFP) This connector is for a chassis-mounted front panel audio I/O module that supports either High Definition Audio or AC`97 audio standard. We recommend that you connect a high-definition front panel audio module to this connector to avail of the motherboard high-definition audio capability. If you want to connect a high-definition front panel audio module to this connector, ensure that the Front Panel Select item in the BIOS is set to [HD Audio]. If you want to connect an AC97 front panel audio module to this connector, set the item to [AC97]. See page 2.4.3 Chipset for details. ASUS M4N78-AM V2 1-10
