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
message again.
Note: This message will appear again at next boot if you do not respond YES or NO in time.

If you have ever entered Xpress Recovery2 to back up hard drive data using the motherboard
driver disk, the <F9> key can be used for subsequent access to XpressRecovery2 during the
POST. For more information, refer to Chapter 4, "Xpress Recovery2."

boot device setting as needed.
