Intel® Server Board S1600JP TPS BIOS Setup Interface Setup Item AHCI Capable SATA Controller Options Disabled Compatibility Enhanced AHCI RAID Mode Help Text - Compatibility provides PATA emulation on the SATA device. - Enhanced provides Native SATA support. - AHCI enables the Advanced Host Controller Interface, which provides Enhanced SATA functionality. - RAID Mode provides host based RAID support on the onboard SATA ports. Comments This option configures the onboard AHCIcapable SATA controller, which is distinct from the SCU. If the SATA Controller is Disabled, the SATA Ports will not operate, and any installed SATA devices will be unavailable. Compatibility provides PATA emulation on the SATA device, allowing the use of legacy IDE/PATA drivers. Enhanced provides Native SATA support using native SATA drivers included with the vast majority of current OSes. AHCI enables the Advanced Host Controller Interface, which provides Enhanced SATA functionality plus possible additional functionality (Native Command Queuing, Hot Plug, Staggered Spin Up). It uses AHCI drivers available for the majority of current OSes. RAID Mode provides host based RAID support on the onboard SATA ports. RAID levels supported and required drivers depend on the RAID stack selected AHCI HDD Staggered Spin-Up Enabled Disabled If enabled for the AHCI Capable SATA controller, Staggered Spin-Up will be performed on drives attached to it. Otherwise these drives will all spin up at boot. This option enables or disables Staggered Spin-up only for disk drives attached to ports on the AHCI Capable SATA Controller. Disk drives attached to SATA/SAS ports on the Storage Control Unit are controlled by a different method for Staggered Spin-Up and this option does not affect them. This option is only visible when the SATA Controller is enabled and AHCI or RAID has been selected as the operational SATA Mode. AHCI Capable RAID Options Intel® ESRT2 (LSI*) Intel® RSTe - Intel® ESRT2 (Powered By LSI*): Supports RAID 0/1/10 and optional RAID 5 with Intel® RAID C600 Upgrade Keys. Uses Intel® ESRT2 drivers (based on LSI* MegaSR). This option only appears when the SATA Controller is enabled, and RAID Mode has been selected as the operational SATA Mode. This setting selects the RAID stack to be used for SATA RAID with the onboard AHCI SATA controller. - Intel® RSTe: Provides passthrough drive support. Also provides host based RAID 0/1/10/5 support. Uses Intel® RSTe iastor drivers. If a RAID Volume has not previously been created that is compatible with the RAID stack selected, it will be necessary to Save and Exit and reboot in order to create a RAID Volume.
