how to make the purple sata ports work? ga-ep45-dq6

[Sunburn74]

Hi. I have a problem. I can't seem to get the purple sata ports on my ga-ep45-dq6 board to work. The yellow ones (intel) are fine. The purple ones (jmicron) do not seem to recognize any device. I have the onboard sata controller enabled. Is there some other trick? Thanks
