This motherboard supports Hot Plug and Hot Swap functions for SATA / SATAII Devices
in RAID / AHCI mode. AMD SB750 south bridge chipset provides hardware support for
Advanced Host controller Interface (AHCI), a new programming interface for SATA host
controllers developed thru a joint industry effort. AHCI also provides usability enhancements
such as Hot Plug.
NOTE
What is Hot Plug Function?
If the SATA / SATAII HDDs are NOT set for RAID configuration, it is called
“Hot Plug” for the action to insert and remove the SATA / SATAII HDDs
while the system is still power-on and in working condition.
However, please note that it cannot perform Hot Plug if the OS has been
installed into the SATA / SATAII HDD.
What is Hot Swap Function?
If SATA / SATAII HDDs are built as RAID 1 or RAID 5 then it is called “Hot
Swap” for the action to insert and remove the SATA / SATAII HDDs while
the system is still power-on and in working condition.

This motherboard adopts AMD SB750 south bridge chipset that supports Serial ATA
(SATA) / Serial ATAII (SATAII) hard disks and RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10
and JBOD) functions. You may install SATA / SATAII hard disks on this motherboard
for internal storage devices. This section will guide you to install the SATA / SATAII
hard disks.
STEP 1: Install the SATA / SATAII hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis.
STEP 2: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA / SATAII hard disk.
STEP 3: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard’s SATAII
connector.
STEP 4: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the SATA / SATAII hard
disk.
If you plan to use RAID 0 or RAID 1 function, you need to install at least 2
SATA / SATAII hard disks. If you plan to use RAID 5 function, you need to
install 3 SATA / SATAII hard disks. If you plan to use RAID 10 function, you
need to install 4 SATA / SATAII hard disks.
