2.13 Serial ATA3 (SATA3) Hard Disks Installation This motherboard adopts AMD SB950 chipset that supports Serial ATA3 (SATA3) hard disks and RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, JBOD and RAID 5) functions. You may install SATA3 hard disks on this motherboard for internal storage devices. This section will guide you to install the SATA3 hard disks. STEP 1: Install the SATA3 hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis. STEP 2: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA3 hard disk. STEP 3: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard's SATA3 con- nector. STEP 4: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the SATA3 hard disk. 2.14 Hot Plug and Hot Swap Functions for SATA3 HDDs This motherboard supports Hot Plug and Hot Swap functions for SA TA3 in RAID / AHCI mode. AMD SB950 chipset provides hardware support for Advanced Host controller Interface (AHCI), a new programming interface for SA TA host controllers developed thru a joint industry effort. NOTE What is Hot Plug Function? If the SATA3 HDDs are NOT set for RAID conf guration, it is called "Hot Plug" for the action to insert and remove the SA TA3 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 SATA3 HDD. What is Hot Swap Function? If SATA3 HDDs are built as RAID 1 or RAID 5 then it is called "Hot Swap" for the action to insert and remove the SA TA3 HDDs while the system is still power-on and in working condition. 41

hard disks and RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, JBOD and RAID 5) functions. You
may install SATA3 hard disks on this motherboard for internal storage devices. This
section will guide you to install the SATA3 hard disks.
STEP 1:
Install the SATA3 hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis.
STEP 2:
Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA3 hard disk.

Hot Plug and Hot Swap Functions for SATA3 HDDs
This motherboard supports Hot Plug and Hot
Swap functions for SA TA3 in RAID
/ AHCI mode. AMD SB950 chipset provides hardware support for
Advanced Host
controller Interface (AHCI), a new programming interface for SA
TA host controllers
developed thru a joint industry effort.
NOTE
What is Hot Plug Function?
If the SATA3 HDDs are NOT set for RAID conf guration, it is called “Hot
Plug” for the action to insert and remove the SA
TA3 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 SATA3 HDD.
What is Hot Swap Function?
If SATA3 HDDs are built as RAID 1 or RAID 5 then it is called “Hot
Swap” for the action to insert and remove the SA
TA3 HDDs while the
system is still power-on and in working condition.
