PORT PORT 5) SATA3 2/3/4/5 (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 Intel® Chipset supports RAID 0, RAIDS 1, RSAIDU5, and RAID 10. Refer to Chapter 3, "Configuring a RAID Set," for instructions on configuring a RAID array. 11 22 33 1 7 Pin No. Definition 1 GND SATA3 2 TXP 54 3 TXN 32 4 GND 5 RXN 6 RXP 7 1 7 GND DEBUG PORT To enable hot-plugging for the SATA ports, refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," "Peripherals\SATA And RST Configuration," for more information. DEBUG PORT B S_ B 6) M2A_32G/M.2 (M.2 Socket 3 Connectors) The M.2 connectors (one on the back of the motherboard) support M.2 SATA SSDs or M.2 PCIe SSDs and support RAID configuration. Please note that an M.2 PCIe SSD cannot be used to create a RAID set either with an M.2 SATA SSD or a SATA hard drive. To create a RAID array with an M.2 PCIe SSD, you must set up the configuration in UEFI BIOS mode. Refer to Chapter 3, "Configuring a RAID Set," for instructions on configuring a RAID array. S S M2A_32G M.2(on the back of the motherboard) Follow the steps below Fto correctly install an M.2 SSD in the M.2 connector. Step 1: Get a screw and a standoff from the included M.2 screw kit. Locate the M.2 connector where you will install the M.2 SSD, use a screwdriver to unfasten the screw on the heatsink and then remove the heatsink. (Only the M2A_32G connector has the M.2 heatsink) Step 2: Locate the proper mo_u0nting hole for the M.2 SSD to be installed and then tighten the standoff first. Insert the M.2 SSD into the M.2 connector at an angle. Step 3: Press the M.2 SSD down and then secure it with the screw. Replace the M.2 heatsink and secure it to the original hole. Select the pro_peFr hole for the M.2 SSD to be installed and refasten the screw and nut. _0 F - 15 - G.QBOFM G.QBOFM
