2.10 Serial ATA (SATA) / Serial ATA2 (SATA2) Hard Disks Installation This motherboard adopts Intel® H61 chipset that supports Serial ATA (SATA) / Serial ATA2 (SATA2) hard disks. You may install SATA / SATA2 hard disks on this motherboard for internal storage devices. This section will guide you to install the SATA / SATA2 hard disks. STEP 1: Install the SATA / SATA2 hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis. STEP 2: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA / SATA2 hard disk. STEP 3: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard's SATA2 con- nector. STEP 4: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the SATA / SATA2 hard disk. 2.11 Hot Plug Function for SATA / SATA2 HDDs This motherboard supports Hot Plug function for SATA / SATA2 in AHCI mode. Intel® H61 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 / SATA2 HDDs are NOT set for RAID configuration, it is called "Hot Plug" for the action to insert and remove the SATA / SATA2 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 / SATA2 HDD. 29
