SATA Mode Message:
"SATA is found running at IDE MODE!"
When the motherboard is set to its default values, the monitor will display a message during the POST,
telling you the SATA controller is running at IDE mode. The message that follows asks if you want to
change it to AHCI mode and enable hot plug functionality for the SATA connectors.
Press <Y> to enable AHCI mode or <N> to continue IDE mode operation and stop showing this mes-
sage again.
Note: This message will appear again at next boot if you do not respond YES or NO in time.
Function Keys:
<DEL>: BIOS SETUP
Press the <Delete> key to enter BIOS Setup or to access the Q-Flash utility in BIOS Setup.
<F9>: XPRESS RECOVERY2
If you have ever entered Xpress Recovery2 to back up hard drive data using the driver disk, the <F9>
key can be used for subsequent access to Xpress Recovery2 during the POST. For more information,

vice setting as needed.
