Combined IDE controller-Only SATA ports 0, 1, 2, and 3 are available. RAID + AHCI-System BIOS cannot be updated from the optical drive. In this mode, the option ROM might not allow certain DOS drive letter access at this time. Other than the reduction of available SATA ports, there are no limitations if your workstation is running in IDE mode. ENWW Removing and replacing components 67
