Table 3 Computer Setup-Storage (continued) Select the AHCI option to enable DOS and boot accesses to SATA devices using the AHCI interface. Select this mode, if the target operating system supports accessing the SATA devices via AHCI (e.g., Windows Vista) and AHCI accesses are desired. NOTE: Windows 2000 and Windows XP require a third-party device driver to access SATA devices using the AHCI interface. If you attempt to boot either of these operating systems in AHCI mode without the required device driver, the system will crash (blue screen). SATA 0 and 2 Allows you to enable or disable DOS and boot accesses to the Primary channel of the first SATA controller. This feature only applies when SATA Emulation = IDE. NOTE: Advanced operating systems like Windows may reenable the channel. SATA 1 and 3 Allows you to enable or disable DOS and boot accesses to the Secondary channel of the first SATA controller. This feature only applies when SATA Emulation = IDE. NOTE: Advanced operating systems like Windows may reenable the channel. SATA 4 (some models) Allows you to enable or disable DOS and boot accesses to the Primary channel of the second SATA controller. This feature only applies when SATA Emulation = IDE. NOTE: Advanced operating systems like Windows may reenable the channel. SATA 5 (some models) Allows you to enable or disable DOS and boot accesses to the Secondary channel of the second SATA controller. This feature only applies when SATA Emulation = IDE. NOTE: Advanced operating systems like Windows may reenable the channel. DPS Self-Test Boot Order Allows you to execute self-tests on ATA hard drives capable of performing the Drive Protection System (DPS) self-tests. NOTE: This selection will only appear when at least one drive capable of performing the DPS self-tests is attached to the system. Allows you to: ● Specify the order in which attached devices (such as a USB flash media device, diskette drive, hard drive, optical drive, or network interface card) are checked for a bootable operating system image. Each device on the list may be individually excluded from or included for consideration as a bootable operating system source. ● Specify the order of attached hard drives. The first hard drive in the order will have priority in the boot sequence and will be recognized as drive C (if any devices are attached). NOTE: MS-DOS drive lettering assignments may not apply after a non-MS-DOS operating system has started. Shortcut to Temporarily Override Boot Order 6 Computer Setup (F10) Utility ENWW

SATA devices using the AHCI interface. If you attempt to boot either of these operating
systems in AHCI mode without the required device driver, the system will crash (blue
screen).
SATA 0 and 2
Allows you to enable or disable DOS and boot accesses to the Primary channel of the first SATA
controller. This feature only applies when SATA Emulation = IDE.
NOTE:
Advanced operating systems like Windows may reenable the channel.

Allows you to enable or disable DOS and boot accesses to the Secondary channel of the first SATA
controller. This feature only applies when SATA Emulation = IDE.
NOTE:
Advanced operating systems like Windows may reenable the channel.
SATA 4
(some models)
Allows you to enable or disable DOS and boot accesses to the Primary channel of the second SATA
controller. This feature only applies when SATA Emulation = IDE.

(some models)
Allows you to enable or disable DOS and boot accesses to the Secondary channel of the second

Allows you to execute self-tests on ATA hard drives capable of performing the Drive Protection
System (DPS) self-tests.
NOTE:
This selection will only appear when at least one drive capable of performing the
DPS self-tests is attached to the system.
Boot Order
Allows you to:
●
Specify the order in which attached devices (such as a USB flash media device, diskette drive,
hard drive, optical drive, or network interface card) are checked for a bootable operating system
image. Each device on the list may be individually excluded from or included for consideration
as a bootable operating system source.
●
Specify the order of attached hard drives. The first hard drive in the order will have priority in
the boot sequence and will be recognized as drive C (if any devices are attached).
NOTE:
MS-DOS drive lettering assignments may not apply after a non-MS-DOS operating
system has started.
