Robin,
The SATA ports are on the corner of the board opposite the corner with
the reset button and power connector. In other words, put the board
face up in front of you with the power connector facing you. The SATA
ports are on the top left corner. They're labelled J1 and J2.
For SATA power, you'll need an adapter like that sold with the Soekris
HDD mounting kit
(http://soekris.com/products/net6501/2-5-sata-hard-drive-mounting-kit-for-the-net6501-std.html).
I think my board came with this power adapter, but I could be mistaken.
The power connector is a 5 pin connector labelled JP18. It's located
along the edge between the SATA ports and the PCIe slot, closest to the
SATA ports.

Hello all!
I'm the proud owner of a Net6501 and have been running Linux on it for about
half a year now. I am completely blind, however when I received the device it
was no problem for me to open the case, install the MSATA SSD, put the case
back together and get everything going.
However, I just purchased an SATA HD which I'd like to install and connect to
the mainboard. Unfortunately, I was not very fortunate when trying to find the
ports on the board where the SATA and power cables for the HD get plugged in.
I've been carefully exploring the Net6501, however with all the connectors and
pins I wasn't able to find the appropriate ports. Thus, I was just wondering if
someone on here could be kind enough to tell me where abouts they are? In case
this won't work out I could as well ask someone, in this case it would be
really great for me to know if the ports are labelled in any way so I know what
I have to ask for.
Thanks a lot, any help would be greatly appreciated! :-)
Best wishes,
Robin.
