SATA Port5 - Port6 [AHCI] Allows you to set the SATA port 5~6 mode. This item can only be configured as [IDE] when SATA Port1 - Port4 is set to [IDE]. Configuration options: [AHCI] [IDE] • When the SATA Port1-Port 4 and the SATA Port5-Port 6 items are set to [AHCI], the information of the SATA connectors 1-6 can be seen only under the OS environment or during POST. • For Windows® XP OS, you have to install the AHCI driver, so that you could use the SATA connectors 1-6 in AHCI mode under the OS environment.
