2. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2) These next generation connectors support the thin Serial ATA cables for Serial ATA hard disks. The current Serial ATA interface allows up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate, faster than the standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s (Ultra ATA/133). If you installed Serial ATA hard disks, you may create a RAID 0/RAID 1 configuration using the RAID feature of the Intel 6300ESB ICH. Refer to page 5-26 to 5-27 for the SATA configuration.

Action

1. Check if the power cable is properly connected to the power connector in the system rear panel. 2. Make sure that the power cables are connected to a grounded power outlet. 3. Press the power button to make sure that the system is turned on. Check if the keyboard cable is properly connected to the PS/2 keyboard port. Check if the mouse cable is properly connected to the mouse port. 1. Check the memory modules and make sure you installed the DIMMs the system supports. 2. Make sure that the DIMMs are properly installed on the sockets.
