	== H. SATA PORT==		== H. SATA PORT==
			The SATA port allows you to connect SATA devices to your Raspberry Pi, a very useful tool for data transfer, backup and cloning.<br>
			It supports most SATA devices such as CD ROM, DVD ROM, CD drive, 2.5 inch hard disk and 3.5 inch hard disk.<br>
			<pre>
			Installation for SATA drives:

			1. Connect you SATA drive to the SATA port with a SATA cable.
			2. Connect SATA Power Cable to a power adapter which is used to power hard disk OR to the power connector on X300 (Output voltage of power adapter used must be 12Vdc).
