(Note 2) To enable hot plug capability for the SATA connectors (SATAII0, SATAII1, SATAII4, SATAII5) controlled by the ICH9 South Bridge, you must install Windows Vista (on ICH9, hot plug is supported in Windows Vista only) and configure the SATA connectors for AHCI mode. The requirements above do not apply to the SATA connectors (GSATAII0, GSATAII1) controlled by the GIGABYTE SATA2 controller. (Refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," "Integrated Peripherals," for details on enabling AHCI.) (Note 3) Whether the CPU fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU cooler you install. (Note 4) Available functions in Easytune may differ by motherboard model. (Note 5) Due to chipset limitation, Intel ICH9R RAID driver does not support Windows 2000 operating system.
