775XFire-eSATA2 motherboard supports Hot Plug and Hot Swap functions

for SATA / SATAII / eSATAII Devices. Intel ICH7R 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. AHCI requires appropriate software support (e.g., an AHCI driver,

which is contained in our support CD).

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 RAID1 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.

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.
