Link Detected Cable Length Displays transmission speed Displays the approximate length of the attached LAN cable. Note: The Gigabit hub will only operate at a speed of 10/100 Mbps in MS-DOS mode; it will operate at a normal speed of 10/100/1000 Mbps in Windows mode or when the LAN Boot ROM is activated. When a Cable Problem Occurs... If a cable problem occurs on a specified pair of wires, the Status field will show Short and then length shown will be the approximate distance to the fault or short. Example: Part1-2 Status = Short / Length = 2m Explanation: A fault or short might occur at about 2m on Part 1-2. Note: Part 4-5 and Part 7-8 are not used in a 10/100 Mbps environment, so their Status fields will show Open, and the length shown is the approximate length of the attached LAN cable. Onboard LAN1/2 Boot ROM (LAN1/2 port) Allows you to decide whether to activate the boot ROM integrated with the onboard LAN chip. (Default: Disabled) Onboard SATA/IDE Device (GIGABYTE SATA2 Chip) Enables or disables the IDE and SA TA controllers integrated in the GIGABYTE SA TA 2 chip. (Default: Enabled) Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode (GIGABYTE SATA2 Chip) Allows you to decide whether to configure the SA TA controller to AHCI mode. IDE Configures the SATA controller to PATA mode. (Default) AHCI Configures the SATA controller to AHCI mode. Note: In case you need to set this item to AHCI mode and want to install Windows XP onto the AHCI hard drive, you have to install the SATA controller driver during the OS installation. Refer to Chapter 5, "Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s)," for how to make a driver diskette and install the driver . - 61 - BIOS Setup
