Page 31

Points for attention, before you process Hot Plug / Hot Swap:

1.Without the SATA 15-pin power connector interface, Hot Plug / Hot Swap cannot be processed.

2.Even though some HDDs provide both SATA 15-pin power connectors and IDE 1x4-pin conventional power connectors, IDE 1x4-pin conventional power connector’s interface is definitely unable to support

Hot Plug / Hot Swap and will cause the HDD damage and data loss.

3.The operation procedure below is designed only for our motherboard which supports Hot Plug / Hot Swap.

*Hot Plug / Hot Swap might not be supported by the chipset because of its limitation. The support information of our motherboards are indicated in the product spec on our website: www.asrock.com

4.Make sure your HDDs can support Hot Plug / Hot Swap from your dealer or HDD user manual. HDDs that do not support Hot Plug / Hot Swap will be damaged.

5.Please make sure that the required SATA drivers are installed properly. The latest SATA drivers are available on our support website: www.asrock.com

6.Make sure to use the SATA power cable & data cable from our motherboard package.

7.Please follow the instructions below step by step to reduce the risk of HDD crash or data loss.
