Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - Never seen SATA plugs on a motherboard like this. PLEASE help!

MARQUETTE · 05-04-2008, 03:06 PM

I have an E-Machine T-3516. So I have an IDE motherboard that is capable of doing Serial ATA as well. I'm trying to connect a Sony Optiarc SATA (Serial ATA right?) DVD burner to the motherboard.

On the motherboard, there are blue, white, black, and yellow plugs with Serial ATA written under it.

What cables do I need to make this happen? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
