Installation

This motherboard adopts Intel

ICH9 south bridge chipset that supports Serial ATA

(SATA) / Serial ATAII (SATAII) hard disks. 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.

Devices

This motherboard supports Hot Plug function for SATA / SATAII / eSATAII Devices in
AHCI mode. Intel

ICH9 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.

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.

eSATAII is equipped with Hot Plug capability that enables you to exchange
drives easily. For example, with eSATAII interface, you may simply plug your
eSATAII devices to the eSATAII ports instead of opening your chassis to
exchange your SATAII hard disk.
