3. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA2, SATA1) These next generation connectors support the thin Serial ATA cables for Serial ATA hard disks. The current Serial ATA interface allows up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate, faster than the standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s (Ultra ATA/133).

See BIOS section for correct setting. • The Serial ATA cable is smaller and more flexible allowing easier routing inside the chassis. The lower pin count of the Serial ATA cable eliminates the problem caused by the wide, flat ribbon cables of the Parallel ATA interface. • Hot plug support for Serial ATA drive and connections are not available in this motherboard. • Install Windows® XP™ Service Pack 1 when using Serial ATA. The Serial ATA cable is purchased separately. 1-20 Chapter 1: Product introduction
