SATA3 0/1/2/3/4/5/6/7 (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 AMD A88X Chipset supports
RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10, and JBOD. Refer to Chapter 3, "Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s)," for
instructions on configuring a RAID array.
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.

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

(Power Switch):
Connects to the power switch on the chassis front panel. You may configure the way to turn off your system
using the power switch (refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," "Power Management," for more information).
SPEAK
(Speaker):
Connects to the speaker on the chassis front panel. The system reports system startup status by issuing a
beep code. One single short beep will be heard if no problem is detected at system startup.
HD
(Hard Drive Activity LED):
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.
