3.4.2 SATA Conguration

The SATA Conguration menu allows you to congure your storage devices. Select an item

then press <Enter> to display the submenu.

OnChip SATA Speed [Auto]

[Auto] Allows automatic detection of the SATA speed.

[SATA 3.0Gb/s] Set this item to [SATA 3.0Gb/s] if you installed 3.0Gb/s SATA HDDs on this

motherboard.

[SATA 6.0Gb/s] Set this item to [SATA 6.0Gb/s] if you installed 6.0Gb/s SATA HDDs on this

motherboard.

OnChip SATA Channel [Enabled]

[Enabled] Enables the onboard channel SATA port.

[Disabled] Disables the onboard channel SATA port.

The following two items appear only when you set the OnChip SATA Channel item to

[Enabled].

SATA Port1 - Port4 [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.

• When this item is set to [AHCI], the information of the SATA connectors 1–6 can be

seen under the OS environment or during POST.

• For Windows

XP OS, you have to install the AHCI driver, so that you could use the

SATA connectors 1–6 in AHCI mode under the OS environment.

SATA Port5 - Port6 [IDE]

Setting this item to [IDE] instead of [RAID] or [AHCI] allows the system to recognize the

optical dirves connected to the SATA connectors 5 or 6 when installing OS.

If you use a SATA optical drive to run the OS installation disk, we strongly recommend that

you install the optical dirve to the SATA connectors 5/6 and set them to [IDE] mode.
