What is HDCP?
HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection, a
specification developed by Intel® for protecting digital entertainment
content that uses the DVI interface. HDCP is a copy protection
scheme to eliminate the possibility of intercepting digital data
midstream between the video source, or transmitter - such as a
computer, DVD player or set-top box - and the digital display, or
receiver - such as a monitor, television or projector. In other words,
HDCP specification is designed to protect the integrity of content as it
is being transmitted.
Products compatible with the HDCP scheme such as DVD players,
satellite and cable HDTV set-top-boxes, as well as few entertain-
ment PCs requires a secure connection to a compliant display. Due
to the increase in manufacturers employing HDCP in their equipment,
it is highly recommended that the HDTV or LCD monitor you purchase
is compatible.

1. If you plan to use RAID 0 or RAID 1 function, you need to install at least 2
SATA / SATAII hard disks. If you plan to use RAID 0+1, JBOD or RAID 10
function, you need to install 4 SATA / SATAII hard disks.
2. For OS installation on SATA / SATAII HDDs, please refer to page 35 to 40 for
details. If you install a new SATA / SATAII HDD just for data storage
purpose, and your SATA / SATAII mode is in RAID or AHCI mode, this
empty SATA / SATAII HDD information will not appear in “Disk Management”.
You need to enter WebPAM to create JBOD first, which means, after you
enter WebPAM, please click “Logical Drive View” “Create” “JBOD”.
After that, you can find the empty SATA / SATAII HDDs information in “Disk
Management” and start to use it. (WebPAM is an utility for ATITM Windows
RAID. Please refer to RAID Installation Guide in our support CD for detailed
operation procedures.)

This motherboard supports Hot Plug and Hot Swap functions for SATA / SATAII
Devices in RAID / AHCI mode. ATITM SB600 southbridge 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 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.
