The following three items appear only when you set the Intel(R) Rapid Start Technology to [Enabled]. Entry on S3 RTC Wake [Enabled] Allows you to enable or disable the iFFS invocation upon S3 RTC wake. Configuration options: [Enabled] [Disabled] Entry After [Immediately] This item appears only when you set the Entry on S3 RTC Wake to [Enabled] and allows you to set the RTC wake timer at S3 entry. Configuration options: [Immediately] [1 minute] [2 minutes] [5 minutes] [10 minutes] [15 minutes] [30 minutes] [1 hour] [2 hours] Active Page Threshold Support [Enabled] Allows you to enable or disable the Active Page Threshold Support. Configuration options: [Enabled] [Disabled] Active Memory Threshold [x] This item appears only when you set the Active Page Threshold Support to [Enabled] and allows you to set the Active Memory Threshold. When the partition size is larger than the Active Page Threshold size, the system will try to support the Intel(R) Rapid Start Technology. When the item is set to zero, the system automatically checks whether the partition size is enough at S3 entry. Key in the desired value using the numeric keypad. Intel(R) Smart Connect Technology ISCT Configuration [Disabled] Allows you to enable or disable the ISCT configuration. Configuration options: [Enabled] [Disabled] 2.5.4 SATA Configuration While entering Setup, the BIOS automatically detects the presence of SATA devices. The SATA Port items show Empty if no SATA device is installed to the corresponding SATA port. SATA Mode Selection [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. [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. [RAID] Set to [RAID] when you want to create a RAID configuration from the SATA hard disk drives. 2-18 ASUS P8Q77-M2
