You will find the claret serial ATA connectors in motherboard easily. To connect a Serial ATA disk, you have to have a 7-pin serial ATA
cable. Connect two ends of the serial ATA cable to the serial ATA header on the motherboard and the disk. Like every other traditional
disk, you also have to connect a power cable. Please be noted that it is a jumper free implement; you don’t need to set jumpers to
define a master or slave disk. When serial ATA hard disks are installed on serial ATA ports, the one connected on Port 0(SATA 1) will be
set as the first boot device automatically. Please be noted that it doesn’t support Hot-Plug in function.
