When a Cable Problem Occurs... If a cable problem occurs on a specified pair of wires, the Status field will show Short and then length shown will be the approximate distance to the fault or short. Example: Part1-2 Status = Short / Length = 2m Explanation: A fault or short might occur at about 2m on Part 1-2. Note: Part 4-5 and Part 7-8 are not used in a 10/100 Mbps environment, so their Status fields will show Open, and the length shown is the approximate length of the attached LAN cable. Onboard LAN Boot ROM Allows you to decide whether to activate the boot ROM integrated with the onboard LAN chip. (Default: Disabled) Onboard USB3.0 Controller (Renesas D720200 USB 3.0 Controller) Enables or disables the Renesas D720200 USB 3.0 controller. (Default: Enabled) USB3.0 Turbo (Renesas D720200 USB 3.0 Controller) Enables or disables the Turbo USB mode for the Renesas D720200 USB 3.0 controller. The actual performance may vary depending on the number of devices being installed. (Default: Disabled) eSATA3 Controller (Marvell 88SE9128 Chip, eSATA3 Connectors on the Back Panel) Enables or disables the SATA controller integrated in the Marvell 88SE9128 chip. (Default: Enabled) eSATA3 Ctrl Mode (Marvell 88SE9128 Chip, eSATA3 Connectors on the Back Panel) Allows you to decide whether to configure the SATA controller integrated in the Marvell 88SE9128 chip to AHCI mode. IDE Configures the SATA controller to IDE mode. (Default) AHCI Configures the SATA controller to AHCI mode. Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) is an interface specification that allows the storage driver to enable advanced Serial ATA features such as Native Command Queuing and hot plug. eSATA3 Transaction Mode (Marvell 88SE9128 Chip, eSATA3 Connectors on the Back Panel) Allows you to decide whether to enable RAID for the Marvell 88SE9128 SATA controller. Bypass Disables RAID. Fw Mode Enables RAID. (Default) Auto Lets the BIOS configure this setting depending on the hard drives connected. In case you want to switch to Fw Mode from other modes and to be able to enter the eSATA3 RAID Configuration screen, after selecting Fw Mode, be sure to save the settings and exit BIOS Setup first for the settings to take effect. eSATA3 RAID Configuration (Marvell 88SE9128 Chip, eSATA3 Connectors on the Back Panel) Allows you to configure RAID for the Marvell 88SE9128 SATA controller. Refer to Chapter 5, "Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s)," for instructions on configuring a RAID array. SATA3 Firmware Selection Determines whether to automatically update the firmware of the Marvell 88SE9128 chip. Onchip Keeps the original firmware version. Auto Lets the BIOS automatically update the firmware to the latest version. (Default) Auto Forces the BIOS to flash the firmware with the same version as the one embedded in the system BIOS, even if it's not the latest one. - 51 - BIOS Setup

AHCI
Configures the SATA controller to AHCI mode. Advanced Host Controller Interface
(AHCI) is an interface specification that allows the storage driver to enable advanced
Serial ATA features such as Native Command Queuing and hot plug.
eSATA3 Transaction Mode (Marvell 88SE9128 Chip, eSATA3 Connectors on the Back
Panel)
Allows you to decide whether to enable RAID for the Marvell 88SE9128 SATA controller.
Bypass
Disables RAID.
Fw Mode

Lets the BIOS configure this setting depending on the hard drives connected.
In case you want to switch to
Fw Mode
from other modes and to be able to enter the
eSATA3 RAID
Configuration

eSATA3 RAID Configuration (Marvell 88SE9128 Chip, eSATA3 Connectors on the Back
Panel)
Allows you to configure RAID for the Marvell 88SE9128 SATA controller. Refer to Chapter 5, "Configur
-
ing SATA Hard Drive(s)," for instructions on configuring a RAID array.
SATA3 Firmware Selection
Determines whether to automatically update the firmware of the Marvell 88SE9128 chip.
Onchip
Keeps the original firmware version.
Auto
Lets the BIOS automatically update the firmware to the latest version. (Default)
Auto
Forces the BIOS to flash the firmware with the same version as the one embedded in
the system BIOS, even if it's not the latest one.
When a Cable Problem Occurs...
If a cable problem occurs on a specified pair of wires, the
Status
field will show
Short
and then length
shown will be the approximate distance to the fault or short.
Example:
Part1-2 Status = Short / Length
=
2m
Explanation: A fault or short might occur at about 2m on Part 1-2.
Note: Part 4-5 and Part 7-8 are not used in a 10/100 Mbps environment, so their
Status
fields will show
Open
, and the length shown is the approximate length of the attached LAN cable.
