SATA Ports
Six Serial ATA (SATA) ports 
(I-SATA 0~5) are located on 
the motherboard to provide 
serial link connections. Se-
rial Link connections provide 
faster data transmission than 
those of the traditional Parallel 
ATA. These SATA ports are 
supported by the Intel ICH9R 
South Bridge. See the table on 
the right for pin defi nitions.
