2.6.2
SATA Configuration
While entering Setup, the BIOS automatically detects the presence of SATA devices. The
SATA Port items show
Not Present
if no SATA device is installed to the corresponding SATA
port.
OnChip SATA Channel [Enabled]
Enables or disables onboard channel SATA port. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
OnChip SATA Type [AHCI]
Allows you to set the SATA configuration.
[IDE]
Set to [IDE] when you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as
Parallel ATA physical storage devices.
[RAID]
Set to [RAID] when you want to create a RAID configuration from the SATA
hard disk drives.
[AHCI]
Set to [AHCI] when you want the SATA hard disk drives to use the AHCI
(Advanced Host Controller Interface). The AHCI allows the onboard storage
driver to enable advanced Serial ATA features that increases storage
performance on random workloads by allowing the drive to internally
optimize the order of commands.
SATA Port 5,6,7,8 [AHCI]
This item only appears when
OnChip SATA Type
is set to [AHCI]. If SATA ports 5, 6,7
and 8 are configured as [AHCI], the ports can only be used under Windows
®
OS with
the requested drivers installed. Set to [IDE] instead of [AHCI] to access devices on
SATA ports 5, 6 before entering OS. Configuration options: [AHCI] [IDE]
SATA Port 5,6,7,8 [RAID]
This item only appears when
OnChip SATA Type
is set to [RAID]. If SATA ports 5, 6,
7 and 8 are configured as [RAID], the ports can only be used under Windows
®
OS with
the requested drivers installed. Set to [IDE] instead of [RAID] to access devices on
SATA ports 5, 6 before entering OS. Configuration options: [RAID] [IDE]
