2.7 Serial ATA2 (SATA2) / Serial ATA3 (SATA3) Hard Disks Installation
This motherboard adopts AMD SB710 chipset that supports Serial ATA2 (SATA2)
hard disks and RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10 and JBOD) functions. It also adopts
ASMedia ASM1061 chipset that supports Serial ATA3 (SATA3) hard disks. You may
install SATA2 / SATA3 hard disks on this motherboard for internal storage devices.
This section will guide you to install the SATA2 / SATA3 hard disks.
STEP 1: Install the SATA2 / SATA3 hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis.
STEP 2: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA2 / SATA3 hard disk.
STEP 3: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard’s SATA2 /
SATA3 connector.
STEP 4: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the SATA2 / SATA3 hard
disk.
2.8 Hot Plug and Hot Swap Functions for SATA2 / SATA3 HDDs
This motherboard supports Hot Plug and Hot Swap functions for SATA2 / SATA3 in
RAID / AHCI mode. AMD SB710 and ASMedia ASM1061 chipsets provide 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 SATA2 / SATA3 HDDs are NOT set for RAID con guration, it
is called “Hot Plug” for the action to insert and remove the SATA2 /
SATA3 HDDs while the system is still power-on and in working condi-
tion. However, please note that it cannot perform Hot Plug if the OS
has been installed into the SATA2 / SATA3 HDD.
What is Hot Swap Function?
If SATA2 HDDs are built as RAID 1 then it is called “Hot Swap” for the
action to insert and remove the SATA2 HDDs while the system is still
power-on and in working condition.
Please be noted that SATA3 connectors do not support RAID function. If
you want to use RAID function, please use SATA2 connectors.
