Install the host SATA cable to your SATA port in the motherboard or add-in cards. Install the power cable to your
system power supply’s large 4-pin connector. Put the chassis cover back on the computer.
Selecting the SATA Drive
When you are switching the drives, if the selected SATA drive does not appear automatically, then your SATA host port
may not be hot-pluggable and hot-swappable, in this case you have to reboot your system to let the new selected drive
to take effect. Most of add-in SATA cards support hot-swap features, but the motherboard’s onboard ports usually
don’t.
