SATA Emulation
Allows you to choose how the SATA controller and devices are
accessed by the operating system. There are up to two supported
options: IDE and AHCI.
IDE is the default option. Use this option for "normal" (non-AHCI)
configurations.
Select the ACHI option to enable DOS and boot accesses to SATA
devices using the AHCI interface. Select this mode if the target
operating system supports accessing the SATA devices via AHCI
(e.g. Windows Vista) and AHCI accesses are desired.
✎
Windows 2000 and Windows XP require a third-party device
driver to access SATA devices using the AHCI interface. If you
attempt to boot with either of these operating systems in AHCI
mode without the required device driver, the system will crash
(blue screen).
SATA 0 and 2
Allows you to enable or disable DOS and boot accesses to the
Primary channel of the first SATA controller. This feature only applies
when SATA emulation = IDE.
✎
Advanced operating systems like Windows may reenable the
channel.
SATA 1 and 3
Allows you to enable or disable DOS and boot accesses to the
Secondary channel of the first SATA controller. This feature only
applies when SATA emulation = IDE.
✎
Advanced operating systems like Windows may reenable the
channel.
SATA 4 (some models)
Allows you to enable or disable DOS and boot accesses to the
Primary channel of the second SATA controller. This feature only
applies when SATA Emulation = IDE.
✎
Advanced operating systems like Windows may reenable the
channel.
SATA 5 (some models)
Allows you to enable or disable DOS and boot accesses to the
Secondary channel of the second SATA controller. This feature only
applies when SATA Emulation = IDE.
✎
Advanced operating systems like Windows may reenable the
channel.
Allows you to execute self-tests on ATA hard drives capable of
performing the Drive Protection System (DPS) self-tests.
✎
This selection will only appear when at least one drive capable of
performing the DPS self-tests is attached to the system.
