Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The AMD A78 Chipset supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and JBOD. Refer to Chapter 3, "Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s)," for instructions on configuring a RAID array. 1 Pin No. Definition Pin No. Definition 1 GND 5 RXN SATA3 2 3 2 TXP 3 TXN 4 GND 6 RXP 7 GND SATA3 0 1 7 1 7 •• ARAID 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 10 configuration requires four hard drives. 6) F_PANEL (Front Panel Header) Connect the power switch, reset switch, 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. Power LED Power Switch •• PLED (Power LED): System Status LED Connects to the power status indicator on the PWPW+ PLED- PLED+ S0 On chassis front panel. The LED is on when the S3/S4/S5 Off system is operating. The LED is off when the system is in S3/S4 sleep state or powered 2 1 10 9 •• PW (Power Switch): off (S5). Connects to the power switch on the chassis front panel. You may configure NC RES+ RESHD- HD+ the way to turn off your system using the power switch (refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," "Power Management," for more information). •• HD (Hard Drive Activity LED): Hard Drive Reset Activity LED Switch Connects to the hard drive activity LED on the chassis front panel.

Press the reset switch to restart the computer if the computer freezes and fails to perform a normal restart. •• NC No connection. The front panel design may differ by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists of power switch, reset switch, hard drive activity LED and etc. When connecting your chassis front panel module to this header, make sure the wire assignments and the pin assignments are matched correctly. 7) SPDIF_O (S/PDIF Out Header) This header supports digital S/PDIF Out and connects a S/PDIF digital audio cable (provided by expansion cards) for digital audio output from your motherboard to certain expansion cards like graphics cards and sound cards. For example, some graphics cards may require you to use a S/PDIF digital audio cable for digital audio output from your motherboard to your graphics card if you wish to connect an HDMI display to the graphics card and have digital audio output from the HDMI display at the same time. For information about connecting the S/PDIF digital audio cable, carefully read the manual for your expansion card. Pin No. Definition 1 SPDIFO 1 2 GND - 15 -
