5) SATA3 0/1/2/3/4/5 (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, RAID 1,
RAID 5, and RAID 10. Refer to Chapter 3, "Conguring SATA Hard Drive(s)," for instructions on conguring a
RAID array.

6) F_PANEL (Front Panel Header)
Connect the power switch, reset switch, speaker, 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.
• PW (Power Switch, Red):
Connects to the power switch on the chassis front panel. You may congure the
way to turn off your system using the power switch (refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS
Setup," "Power Management," for more information).
• SPEAK (Speaker, Orange):
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.
• PLED/PWR (Power LED, Yellow/Purple):
System Status LED
S0 On
S3/S4/S5 Off
Connects to the power status indicator on the
chassis front panel. The LED is on when the system
is operating. The LED is off when the system is in
S3/S4 sleep state or powered off (S5).
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.

• HD (Hard Drive Activity LED, Blue):
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.
• RES (Reset Switch, Green):
Connects to the reset switch on the chassis front panel. Press the reset switch to restart the computer if the computer freezes
and fails to perform a normal restart.
• CI (Chassis Intrusion Header, Gray):
Connects to the chassis intrusion switch/sensor on the chassis that can detect if the chassis cover has been removed. This
function requires a chassis with a chassis intrusion switch/sensor.
• A RAID 0 or RAID 1 conguration 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 conguration requires at least three hard drives. (The total number of hard drives does not have
to be an even number.)
• A RAID 10 conguration requires four hard drives.
• To enable hot-plugging for the SATA ports, refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," "Peripherals\SATA Conguration,"
for more information.
