Table 3-1 Computer Setup (F10) Utility menu descriptions (continued) Heading Option Description Sets the SATA emulation mode with the following options: ● RAID + AHCI-Requires one of the two Intel SATA option ROMs to run. In this mode, the Option ROM manages the drives so they are not shown in Device Configuration. This option is the default and offers best performance. ● 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 Selects the Drive Protection System (DPS) Self-Test (also called DST, Drive Self-Test). You are prompted for the drive on which to run the test. 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: ● ATAPI CD-ROM Drive (Optical Drive in BIOS 1.01 and above) ● USB device ● Hard Drive ● Integrated SATA ● Integrated IDE ● Broadcom Ethernet controller ● Diskette Drive 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 by selecting File>Save Changes and Exit. NOTE MS-DOS drive lettering assignments might not apply after a non-MS-DOS operating system has started. Security Setup Password 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 the F9 key when the F9=Boot Menu message appears on the screen. After POST is completed, a list of bootable devices is displayed. Use the arrow keys to select the preferred bootable device and press Enter. The workstation then boots from the selected nondefault device for this one time. Enables you to set and enable setup (administrator) password. 28 Chapter 3 System management ENWW
