The SATA Port items show Not Present if no SATA device is installed to the corresponding SATA port. F1: General Help F2: Previous Values F3: Shortcut F5: Optimized Defaults F6: KAWAI Ratio Boost F10: Save ESC: Exit F12: Print Screen 4-34 Chapter 4: BIOS setup SATA Mode [AHCI Mode] [Disabled] [IDE Mode] [AHCI Mode] Allows you to set the SATA configuration. Set to [IDE Mode] when you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as Parallel ATA physical storage devices. Hotplug support configurations for SATA are disallowed under this mode. Set to [AHCI Mode] when you want the SATA hard disk drives to use the AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface). The AHCI allows the onboard storage driver to enable advanced Serial ATA features that increases storage performance on random workloads by allowing the drive to internally optimize the order of commands. Set to [RAID Mode] when you want to create a RAID configuration from the SATA hard disk drives. When read/write of your hard disk errors occur, this feature allows the hard disk to report warning messages during the POST. Status Check [Enabled] SATA6G_1 (Gray) Hot Plug [Disabled] This item appears only when you set the previous item to [AHCI Mode] and [RAID mode]. SATA6G_2 (Gray) Hot Plug [Disabled] This item appears only when you set the previous item to [AHCI Mode] and [RAID mode].
