This motherboard supports Hot Plug and Hot Swap functions for SATA / SATAII
Devices in RAID / AHCI mode. NVIDIA ® GeForce 7050 / nForce 630A MCP 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.
