Table 4-1 Computer Setup Utility menu descriptions (continued) Heading Option Description Hard Disk Identifies the hard disk drives on the system by model, firmware, serial number, connector color, emulation type, multisector transfers, and translation mode. By default, SATA drives are not listed here. Default values can be set here for IDE and SATA drives, but not for SAS drives. CD-ROM Identifies the optical drives on the system. Diskette (for legacy diskette drives only) Identifies the highest capacity media type accepted by the diskette drive. Options are 3.5" 1.44 MB, 5.25" 1.2 MB, and Not Installed. Default Values Enables you to set the default values for IDE and SATA devices such as the following: ● Multisector Transfers (IDE devices only)-Specifies how many sectors are transferred per multi-sector Programmed Input/Output (PIO) operation. Options (subject to device capabilities) are Disabled, 8, and 16. ● Transfer Mode (IDE devices only)-Specifies the active data transfer mode. Options (subject to device capabilities) are PIO 0, Max PIO, Enhanced DMA, Ultra DMA 0, and Max UDMA. ● Translation Mode (IDE/SATA disks only)-Enables you to select the translation mode to be used for the device, which enables the BIOS to access disks partitioned and formatted on other systems and may be necessary for users of older versions of UNIX (for example, SCO UNIX version 3.2). Options are Bit-Shift, LBA Assisted, Off, User, and Automatic. NOTE: The Automatic option allows BIOS to automatically determine the translation mode used to configure a previously-formatted IDE, SATA, or USB mass storage device. Hence, you do not have to know how the mass storage device was previously formatted. 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. 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 media. BIOS DMA Data Transfers Enables/disables DMA transfers for IDE and SATA devices when possible during POST to increase transfer speed. SATA Controller #0 Enables/disables SATA controller 0. SATA Controller #1 Enables/disables SATA controller 1. ENWW Computer Setup (F10) Utility 29
