DO NOT disable the set

able the set mode you
will need to reinstall the
Windows 7 OS).
5 - 8 Advanced Menu
Bluetooth Power Setting (Advanced Menu > Advanced Chipset Control)
You can adjust the Bluetooth module power setting to your preference. The default
setting (Disabled) will see the Bluetooth module powered off when the system is
started up or restarted. Enabling the power setting will have the module retain the
last power status (on or off) before any restart or shut down.
SATA Mode Selection (Advanced Menu)
You can configure SATA (Serial ATA) control to operate in IDE (native/compati-
ble), AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) modes from this menu. The
SATA Mode should be set BEFORE installing an operating system, and after you
have backed up all necessary files and data (see sidebar).
Legacy USB Support: (Advanced Menu)
Choose "Enabled" if you intend to use USB devices in systems which do not nor-
mally support USB functionality (e.g. DOS). The default setting is "Enabled" and
does not need to be changed if you intend to use your USB devices in Windows.
