SATA Emulation
IMPORTANT:
SATA emulation changes may prevent access to existing drive data and degrade or corrupt
established volumes.
Allows you to choose how the SATA controller and devices are accessed by the operating system. There
are two supported options: IDE and AHCI (default).
IDE—This is the most backwards-compatible setting of the three options. Operating systems usually do
not require additional driver support in IDE mode.
AHCI (default option)—Allows operating systems with AHCI device drivers loaded to take advantage of
more advanced features of the SATA controller.
External USB Storage Boot
Allows you to set USB storage device default boot option in CSM or Legacy mode.
DPS Self-test
Allows you to execute self-tests on ATA hard drives capable of performing the Drive Protection System
(DPS) self-tests.
NOTE:
This selection will only appear when at least one drive capable of performing the DPS self tests is
attached to the system.
Boot Order
Allows you to:
●
Specify the order in which EFI boot sources (such as a internal drive, USB hard drive, or USB optical
