NOTE: If only a single HDD is attached, the Intel Matrix Storage Manager option ROM will not execute. All associated messages will not be displayed. The Intel SATA AHCI BIOS always executes when RAID/AHCI is selected for the SATA emulation mode. This BIOS is only used to support serial attached optical drives. When an HDD is attached, the AHCI BIOS properly identifies the HDD that is connected to the appropriate SATA port and displays Device not supported in this configuration. This message is expected and does not indicate a problem. This section does not apply to configuring SATA RAID in the Linux environment.
