How to enable SATA hot plug / hot swap on T5610?
Hello!
I recently upgraded from a T3400 to a T5610 workstation. I am running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. With the T3400, if I enable the all the SATA drive ports in the BIOS, I am able to hot plug/swap SATA drives to the unused ports while the computer is running. I can plug in a drive while the system is running, and the drive will be recognized by Ubuntu. I can unmount and plug in another drive, and that drive is recognized as well.
However, with the T5610, this doesn't seem to work. In order for a drive to be recognized, it has to be plugged in before the computer boots. On the T5610, I have the latest BIOS, SATA set to AHCI, and I have all of the SATA ports enabled. If a drive is not plugged in during boot, the drive is not recognized when it is hot plugged. Ubuntu doesn't seem to recognize that anything is happening.
I basically cloned my T3400 Ubuntu drive and plugged it into the T5610. Everything seems to be working fine, except the SATA hot plug / hot swap. This leads me to believe that the BIOS is somehow preventing this.
I did not find any settings in the BIOS that would control this. Does anyone know if the hot plug / hot swap should work on the T5610? If so, what might be needed to make it work?
Thanks!
