This motherboard supports Hot Plug function for SATA / SATAII Devices in AHCI
mode. Intel
®
NM10 Express south bridge chipset provides hardware support for
Advanced Host controller Interface (AHCI), a new programming interface for SATA
host controllers developed thru a joint industry effort. AHCI also provides usability
enhancements such as Hot Plug.
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
