Chapter 2: Hardware information
Important notes on Serial ATA solution:
• The Serial ATA cable is smaller and more exible, allowing easier
routing inside the chassis. The lower pin count of the Serial ATA
cable eliminates the problem caused by the wide, at ribbon cables
of the Parallel ATA interface.
Hot plug support for Serial ATA drive and connections is not
available on this motherboard.
Install Windows
®
XP Service Pack 1 or later versions when using
Serial ATA drives.
