Table 3 Computer Setup-Storage (continued) Hard Disk SATA 0 ● Allows you to view the size, model, firmware, serial number, and SATA connector color for the hard drive. ● Emulation Type-Can be set to None (prevents BIOS data accesses and disables it as a boot device) or Hard Disk (treated as hard disk). ● Multisector Transfers (ATA disks only)-Specifies how many sectors are transferred per multisector PIO operation. Options (subject to device capabilities) are Disabled, 8, and 16. ● Translation Mode (ATA disks only)-Allows you to 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. NOTE: If User is selected for the Translation Mode, you can 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. CD-ROM SATA 1 Allows you to view the model, firmware, serial number, and SATA connector color for the optical drive. Default Values IDE/SATA Allows you to specify the default values for the Multisector Transfers, Transfer Mode, and Translation Mode for ATA devices. Storage Options Removable Media Boot Enables/disables ability to boot the system from removable media. Legacy Diskette Write Enables/disables ability to write data to legacy diskettes. BIOS DMA Data Transfers Allows you to control how BIOS disk I/O requests are serviced. When Enable is selected, the BIOS will service ATA disk read and write requests with DMA data transfers. When Disable is selected, the BIOS will service ATA disk read and write requests with PIO data transfers. SATA Emulation Allows you to choose how the SATA controller and devices are accessed by the operating system. There are two supported options: Separate IDE Controller and Combined IDE Controller. Separate IDE Controller is the default option. Use this option for "normal" (non-AHCI) configurations. IDE Controller Allows you to enable/disable the IDE Controller. Primary SATA Controller Allows you to enable/disable the Primary SATA Controller. 4 Computer Setup (F10) Utility ENWW

Hard Disk SATA 0
Allows you to view the size, model, firmware, serial number, and SATA connector color for the
hard drive.
Emulation Type—Can be set to None (prevents BIOS data accesses and disables it as a boot
device) or Hard Disk (treated as hard disk).
Multisector Transfers
(ATA disks only)
—Specifies how many sectors are transferred per multi-
sector PIO operation. Options (subject to device capabilities) are Disabled, 8, and 16.
Translation Mode
(ATA disks only)
—Allows you to 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.
NOTE:
If User is selected for the Translation Mode, you can 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.
CD-ROM SATA 1
Allows you to view the model, firmware, serial number, and SATA connector color for the optical
drive.
Default Values IDE/SATA
Allows you to specify the default values for the Multisector Transfers, Transfer Mode, and Translation
Mode for ATA devices.
Storage Options
Removable Media Boot
Enables/disables ability to boot the system from removable media.
Legacy Diskette Write
Enables/disables ability to write data to legacy diskettes.
BIOS DMA Data Transfers
Allows you to control how BIOS disk I/O requests are serviced. When
Enable
is selected, the BIOS
will service ATA disk read and write requests with DMA data transfers. When
Disable
is selected,
the BIOS will service ATA disk read and write requests with PIO data transfers.
SATA Emulation
Allows you to choose how the SATA controller and devices are accessed by the operating system.
There are two supported options: Separate IDE Controller and Combined IDE Controller.
Separate IDE Controller is the default option. Use this option for "normal" (non-AHCI) configurations.
IDE Controller
Allows you to enable/disable the IDE Controller.
Primary SATA Controller
Allows you to enable/disable the Primary SATA Controller.
