13. VGA port

14. External SATA port. This port connects to an external SATA box or a Serial
ATA port multiplier. This port supports a Serial ATA hard disk drive that you
can combine with an external Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s device to congure a RAID
0, RAID 1, or JBOD set through the onboard JMicron SATA RAID controller.
Before creating a RAID set using Serial ATA hard disks, make sure that you
have connected the Serial ATA signal cable and installed Serial ATA hard
disk drives; otherwise, you cannot enter the JMicron RAID utility and SATA
BIOS setup during POST.
If you intend to create a RAID conguration using this connector, set the
JMicron SATA Controller Mode item in the BIOS to [RAID]. See section
“4.4.5 Onboard Device Conguration” for details.
The external SATA port supports external Serial ATA
3.0 Gb/s devices. Longer cables support higher power requirements to deliver
signal up to two meters away, and enables improved hot-swap function.
DO NOT insert a different connector to this port.
DO NOT unplug the external Serial ATA box when a RAID 0 or JBOD is congured.
15. PS/2 keyboard port (purple). This port is for a PS/2 keyboard.
