Devices in RAID / AHCI mode. AMD SB710 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.

been installed into the SATA / SATAII HDD.

for the action to insert and remove the SATA / SATAII HDDs while the

system is still power-on and in working condition.
