So does it have 2 SATA ports and 1 USB port? If so has any one put a plug like that on it.
I got a RS232 working on it. Got 2 off ebay for only like $6 with shipping. Came from a old USB to RS232 cell phone. I cut the end off and solder the 3 wires to the board. It was easy and Win 7 auto install the driver fast and put it on com port 5 and I used Putty RS232 to get on it. The 1ST part of boot says this:

From there it looks like it say 2 SATA ports and 1 USB port on it.
After it boots can log in to it just like can though SSH only it's thought the RS232.
I got the text of it booting all the way up and to power off.
