2.11 Serial ATA (SATA) / Serial ATA2 (SATA2) / Serial ATA3 (SATA3)
Hard Disks Installation
This motherboard adopts Intel
®
B75 chipset that supports Serial ATA (SATA) / Serial
ATA2 (SATA2) / Serial ATA3 (SATA3) hard disks. You may install SATA / SATA2 /
SATA3 hard disks on this motherboard for internal storage devices. This section will
guide you to install the SATA / SATA2 / SATA3 hard disks.
STEP 1: Install the SATA / SATA2 / SATA3 hard disks into the drive bays of your
chassis.
STEP 2: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA / 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 SATA / SATA2 /
SATA3 hard disk.
2.12 Hot Plug Function for SATA / SATA2 / SATA3 HDDs
This motherboard supports Hot Plug function for SATA / SATA2 / SATA3 in AHCI
mode. Intel
®
B75 chipset provides hardware support for Advanced Host controller
Interface (AHCI), a new programming interface for SATA host controllers developed
through a joint industry effort.
NOTE
What is Hot Plug Function?
If the SATA / SATA2 / SATA3 HDDs are NOT set for RAID con guration, it
is called “Hot Plug” for the action to insert and remove the SATA / SATA2 /
SATA3 HDDs while the system is still power-on and in working condition.
