Heading
Option
Description
Enables and disables ability to write data to legacy media.
BIOS DMA Data Transfers
Determine the point where BIOS enables DMA transfers for both IDE and SATA devices when
possible during POST to increase transfer speed.
SATA Emulation
Sets the SATA emulation mode with the following options:
●
RAID + AHCI–Both the RAID and AHCI OPROMs execute. This emulation mode offers the
best performance and most functionality.
●
Separate IDE Controller–Offers standard SATA supports (four ports only).
●
Combined IDE Controller–Makes the SATA controller look like an IDE controller and offers
best IDE compatibility (two ports only).
Primary SATA Controller
Enables you to disable the ESB-2 SATA controller primary SATA ports from the BIOS perspective,
but the controller is not hidden. The BIOS will ignore these ports and will not configure and
enumerate any devices connected to it. However, the operating system can re-enable and
enumerate devices upon booting.
Secondary SATA Controller
Enables you to disable the ESB-2 SATA controller secondary SATA ports from the BIOS
perspective, but the controller is not hidden. The BIOS will ignore these ports and will not configure
and enumerate any devices connected to it. However, the operating system can re-enable and
enumerate devices upon booting.
DPS Self-Test
Enables you to select a drive test for a SATA drive. It is not displayed by default and not available
for RAID and AHCI configurations.
Boot Order
Enables you to configure the boot, diskette drive, and hard drive orders by physically reordering
the menu entries. Boot Order presents these selections:
●
Optical Drive
●
Diskette Drive
●
USB Device
●
Hard Drive
●
Broadcom Ethernet controller
Press Enter to drag a device to a preferred place. Press F5 to remove the device from consideration
as a bootable device.
NOTE:
MS-DOS drive lettering assignments might not apply after a non-MS-DOS operating
system has started.
Boot devices can be disabled from participating in the boot order process. These order changes
are reconciled with the IPL/BCV historical information and stored in the physical ROM part when
the F10 Setup changes are confirmed with File/Save Changes and Exit.
Shortcut to Temporarily Override Boot Order
: To boot
one time
from a device other than the default device specified in Boot Order, restart the
workstation and press
F9
when the
F9=Boot Menu
message appears on the screen. After POST
