This motherboard adopts NVIDIA
®
GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i chipset that supports
Serial ATA (SATA) / Serial ATAII (SATAII) hard disks and RAID functions. You may
install SATA / SATAII hard disks on this motherboard for internal storage devices. This
section will guide you to install the SATA / SATAII hard disks.
STEP 1: Install the SATA / SATAII hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis.
STEP 2: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA / SATAII hard disk.
STEP 3: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard’s SATAII
connector.
STEP 4: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the SATA / SATAII hard
disk.

This motherboard supports Hot Plug and Hot Swap functions for SATA / SATAII
Devices in RAID / AHCI mode. NVIDIA
®
GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i chipset provides
hardware support for Advanced Host controller Interface (AHCI), a new operation
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 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 RAID 1 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.
