2.12 Hot Plug and Hot Swap Functions for SATA / SATAII HDDs and eSATAII Devices This motherboard supports Hot Plug and Hot Swap functions for SATA / SATAII / eSATAII Devices in RAID mode. 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 or RAID 5 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. Currently, the SATA RAID driver does not support Hot Plug and Hot Swap functions under Windows® VistaTM and VistaTM 64-bit OS. Please visit our website for the driver update in the near future.
