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.
