IDE Configuration submenu
The IDE Configuration submenu allows you to configure the different settings
for the mass storage devices that are connected to the 7-pin SATA or mSATA
connectors on the Matrox 4Sight GPm motherboard.
Although the submenu is called "IDE", the items of this submenu control the
mass storage devices (connected directly to the motherboard) that have 7-pin
SATA or mSATA connectors.
Meaning
This item allows you to enable or disable the SATA controllers.
By selecting Disabled, the BIOS and the operating system will not detect mass storage devices connected to

By selecting Enabled, the BIOS and the operating system will detect mass storage devices connected to the
7-pin SATA or mSATA connectors.
This item allows you to set the mode of the SATA controller.
By selecting IDE, the SATA controller will operate in legacy (IDE) mode. SATA devices will be emulated as IDE

Windows XP , Microsoft Windows Vista, and Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7 support AHCI;
devices will be configured as SATA devices that support AHCI.

❖
AHCI (default).
This item allows you to enable or disable SATA port 0. SATA port 0 is the normal SATA connector.
