17) SATA_SGPIO (SGPIO Header) SGPIO is stands for Serial General Purpose Input/Output which is a 4-signal (or 4-wire) bus used between a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) and a backplane. Out of the 4 signals, 3 are driven by the HBA and 1 is driven by the backplane. Typically, the HBA is a storage controller located inside a server, desktop, rack or workstation computer that interfaces with Hard disk drives (HDDs) to store and retrieve data. 1 Pin No. Definition 1 SGPIO_SATA_LOAD 2 SGPIO_SATA_DATAOUT 3 GND 4 SGPIO_SATA_CLOCK 5 5 SGPIO_SATA_DATAIN 18) SPDIF_IN (S/PDIF In Header) This header supports digital S/PDIF Out and connects a S/PDIF digital audio cable (provided by expansion cards) for digital audio input from your motherboard to certain expansion cards like graphics cards and sound cards.

Hardware Installation
17) SATA_SGPIO (SGPIO Header)
SGPIO is stands for Serial General Purpose Input/Output which is a 4-signal (or 4-wire) bus used be-
tween a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) and a backplane. Out of the 4 signals, 3 are driven by the HBA and 1 is
driven by the backplane. Typically, the HBA is a storage controller located inside a server, desktop, rack
or workstation computer that interfaces with Hard disk drives (HDDs) to store and retrieve data.
18) SPDIF_IN (S/PDIF In Header)
This header supports digital S/PDIF Out and connects a S/PDIF digital audio cable (provided by expan-
sion cards) for digital audio input from your motherboard to certain expansion cards like graphics cards
and sound cards.
