For example, with eSATAII interface, you may simply plug your eSATAII hard disk to the eSATAII ports instead of opening your chassis to exchange your SATAII hard disk. Currently, on the market, the data transfer rate of USB 2. 0 is up to 480Mb/s, and for IEEE 1394 is up to 400Mb/s. However, eSATAII provides the data transfer rate up to 3000Mb/s, which is much higher than USB 2. 0 and IEEE 1394, and still keeps the convenience of Hot Plug feature. Therefore, on the basis of the advantageous transfer speed and the facilitating mobile capability, in the near future, eSATAII will replace USB 2. 0 and IEEE 1394 to be a trend for external interface. NOTE: 1. If you set "Configure SATAII as" option in BIOS setup to AHCI or RAID mode, Hot Plug function is supported with eSATAII devices. Therefore, you can insert or remove your eSATAII devices to the eSATAII ports while the system is power-on and in working condition. If you set "Configure SATAII as" option in BIOS setup to IDE mode, Hot Plug function is not supported with eSATAII devices. If you still want to use eSATAII function in IDE mode, please insert or remove your eSATAII devices to the eSATAII ports only when the system is power-off. Please refer to page 43 to 48 for detailed information of RAID mode, IDE mode, and AHCI mode. How to install eSATAII? SATAII connectors (SATAII_5 (Port4) and SATAII_6 (Port5)) eSATAII connectors (eSATAII_TOP and eSATAII_BOTTOM) 35 1. If you just plan to install one eSATAII device to this motherboard, it is recommended to enable the bottom eSATAII port of the I/O shield. In order to enable the bottom eSATAII port of the I/O shield, you need to connect one of the orage SATAII connectors (SATAII_6 (Port5); see p. 11 No. 20) and one of the orange eSATAII connectors (eSATAII_BOTTOM; see p. 11 No. 3) with a SATA data cable first. Then the bottom eSATAII port of the I/O shield is enabled. Connect the SATA data cable to one of the orange SATAII connector (SATAII_6 (Port5)) Connect the SATA data cable to one of the orange eSATAII connector (eSATAII_BOTTOM) 2. If you plan to install two eSATAII devices to this motherboard, you need to enable both the top and the bottom eSATAII ports of the I/O shield. In order to enable the top and the bottom eSATAII ports of the I/O shield, you have to connect one of the orange SATAII connector (SATAII_6 (Port5); see p. 11 No. 20) and one of the orange eSATAII connector (eSATAII_BOTTOM; see p. 11 No. 3) with a SATA data cable first, and then connect the other orange SATAII connector (SATAII_5 (Port4); see p. 11 No. 23) and the other orange eSATAII connector (eSATAII_TOP; see p. 11 No. 39) with the other SATA data cable. After that, both the top and the bottom eSATAII ports of the I/O shield are enabled. Connect the SATA data cables to both orange SATAII connectors (SATAII_6 (Port5) and SATAII_5 (Port4)) Connect the SATA data cables to both orange eSATAII connectors (eSATAII_BOTTOM and eSATAII_TOP) 36 3. Use the eSATAII device cable to connect eSATAII device and the eSATAII port of the I/O shield. Connect one end of the eSATAII device cable to eSATAII device Connect the other end of the eSATAII device cable to eSATAII port of the I/O shield Comparison between eSATAII and other devices IEEE 1394 USB 2. 0 SATA eSATAII/SATAII 400Mb/s 480Mb/s 1. 5Gb/s (1500Mb/s) 3. 0Gb/s (3000Mb/s) 37 SAT 2. 13 SATAII Hard Disk Setup Guide Before installing SATAII hard disk to your computer, please carefully read below SATAII hard disk setup guide.
