Computer Setup—Storage

NOTE:

Support for specific Computer Setup options may vary depending on the hardware

configuration.

Table 3-3

Computer Setup—Storage

Option

Description

Device Configuration

Lists all installed BIOS-controlled storage devices.

When a device is selected, detailed information and options are displayed. The following options

may be presented:

CD-ROM

: No emulation options available.

Hard Disk

: Size, model, serial number, connector color, SMART, emulation type.

●

None (prevents BIOS data accesses and disables it as a boot device)

●

Hard Disk (treated as a hard disk)

Translation Mode

(ATA disks only)

Lets you select the translation mode to be used for the device. This enables the BIOS to access

disks partitioned and formatted on other systems and may be necessary for users of older

versions of UNIX (e.g., SCO UNIX version 3.2). Options are Automatic, Bit-Shift, LBA Assisted,

User, and Off.

CAUTION:

Ordinarily, the translation mode selected automatically by the BIOS should not be

changed. If the selected translation mode is not compatible with the translation mode that was

active when the disk was partitioned and formatted, the data on the disk will be inaccessible.

Default Values

(ATA disks only)

NOTE:

This feature appears only when User translation mode is selected.

Allows you to specify the parameters (logical cylinders, heads, and sectors per track) used by the

BIOS to translate disk I/O requests (from the operating system or an application) into terms the

hard drive can accept. Logical cylinders may not exceed 1024. The number of heads may not

exceed 256. The number of sectors per track may not exceed 63. These fields are only visible

and changeable when the drive translation mode is set to User.
