OnChip SATA Channel [Enabled] Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled] SATA Port1-Port4 [IDE] 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 Port5-Port6 Setting this item to [IDE] instead of [RAID] or [AHCI] allows the system to recognize the optical drives connected to the SATA connectors 5 or 6 when installing OS. If SATA Port1-Port4 is set to [IDE], SATA Port5-Port6 can only be configured as [IDE] 4-12 Chapter 4: BIOS setup
