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 deinitely 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:

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