Question：Does this SATA enclosure support hot swap?

Answer：Yes, but it depends on the motherboard you have.

1. If your motherboard has an eSATA port in the Back I/O

Connectors Panel as shown in picture # 1 your hot-swap

function is supported and there is no need to install the

eSATA bracket. All you need is connecting the enclosure

with eSATA port at the back of your computer. You can

connect/disconnect the enclosure with your computer at

anytime.

2. If your motherboard only comes with an onboard SATA port

and no eSATA port available. This mean hot-swap is not

supported by your motherboard. You will need to install an

eSATA bracket. Since hot-swap is not supported, you must

connect the enclosure with the computer while it powered off.

The computer will recognize the enclosure during the booting

sequences and you should be able to see the drive after MS

Windows boot up.
