Chapter 2: BIOS information 2-15

2.5.2 SATA Conguration

While entering Setup, the BIOS automatically detects the presence of SATA devices. The

SATA Port items show Not Present if no SATA device is installed to the corresponding SATA

port.

OnChip SATA Channel [Enabled]

Enables or disables onboard channel SATA port. Conguration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]

OnChip SATA Type [IDE]

Allows you to set the SATA conguration.

[IDE] Set to [IDE] when you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as

Parallel ATA physical storage devices.

[RAID] Set to [RAID] when you want to create a RAID conguration from the SATA

hard disk drives.

[AHCI] Set to [AHCI] 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.

SATA Port 5 - Port 6 [AHCI]

This item only appears when OnChip SATA Type is set to [AHCI]. If SATA port 5

and port 6 are congured as [AHCI], the ports can only be used under OS with driver

installed. Set to [IDE] instead of [AHCI] to access devices on SATA port 5 and port 6

before entering OS. Conguration options: [AHCI] [IDE]

S.M.A.R.T. Status Check [Enabled]

S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a monitor system. When

read/write of your hard disk errors occur, this feature allows the hard disk to report warning

messages during the POST. Conguration options: [Enabled] [Disabled]
