Computer Setup-Storage NOTE: Support for specific Computer Setup options may vary depending on the hardware configuration. Table 7-2 Computer Setup-Storage Option Device Configuration Description Lists all installed BIOS-controlled storage devices. When a device is selected, detailed information and options are displayed. The following options may be presented: ● Hard Disk: Size, model, firmware version, serial number, connector color, SMART category. ● CD-ROM: Model, firmware version, serial number, connector color (not included for USB CDROM). ● SMART (ATA disks only) ● Diskette: Model and firmware version. NOTE: Displays for USB diskette drives. Storage Options SATA Emulation Allows you to choose how the SATA controller and devices are accessed by the operating system. There are three supported options: IDE, RAID, and AHCI (default). CAUTION: SATA emulation changes may prevent access to existing hard drive data and degrade or corrupt established volumes. IDE - This is the most backwards-compatible setting of the three options. Operating systems usually do not require additional driver support in IDE mode. RAID - Allows DOS and boot access to RAID volumes. Use this mode with the RAID device driver loaded in the operating system to take advantage of RAID features. AHCI (default option) - Allows operating systems with AHCI device drivers loaded to take advantage of more advanced features of the SATA controller. NOTE: The RAID/AHCI device driver must be installed prior to attempting to boot from a RAID/ AHCI volume. If you attempt to boot from a RAID/AHCI volume without the required device driver installed, the system will crash (blue screen). RAID volumes may become corrupted if they are booted to after disabling RAID. 140 Chapter 7 Computer Setup (F10) Utility
