SATA Port0-3 Native Mode Specifies the operating mode of the integrated SATA controllers. Disabled Allows the SATA controllers to operate in Legacy IDE mode. In Legacy mode the SATA controllers use dedicated IRQs that cannot be shared with other device. Set this option to Disabled if you wish to install operating systems that do not support Native mode. (Default) Enabled Allows the SATA controllers to operate in Native IDE mode. Enable Native IDE mode if you wish to install operating systems that support Native mode. Azalia Codec Enables or disables the onboard audio function. (Default: Auto) If you wish to install a 3rd party add-in audio card instead of using the onboard audio, set this item to Disabled. Onboard H/W 1394 Enables or disables the onboard IEEE 1394 function. (Default: Enabled) Onboard H/W LAN1/LAN2 Enables or disables the onboard LAN function.
