Table 3-3 Computer Setup-Storage (continued) Storage Options Removable Media Boot Enables/disables ability to boot the system from removable media. eSATA Port Allows you to set a SATA port as an eSATA port for use with an external drive. Max eSATA Speed Allows you to choose 1.5 Gbps or 3.0 Gpbs as the maximum eSATA speed. By default, the speed is limited to 1.5 Gbps for maximum reliability. CAUTION: Consult your eSATA drive and cable manufacturer before enabling 3.0 Gpbs speed. Some drive and cable combinations may not run reliably at 3.0 Gpbs. NOTE: eSATA is not available on USDT systems. 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. IDE (default option) - 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 - 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. Refer to the Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) and Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) on HP Compaq dc7900 Business PCs white paper at http://www.hp.com for more information. NOTE: RAID is not available on USDT systems. 14 Chapter 3 Computer Setup (F10) Utility
