Description
Lists all installed BIOS-controlled storage devices.
When a device is selected, detailed information and options are displayed. The following options
may be presented:
Hard Disk: Size, model, firmware, and serial number.
CD-ROM: Model, firmware, and serial number.
Diskette: Model. Only displays when a USB diskette drive is connected to the computer.
SATA Emulation
Allows you to choose how the SATA controller and devices are accessed by the operating
system. There are two supported options: AHCI and IDE.
AHCI (default option) - Allows operating systems with AHCI device drivers loaded to take
advantage of more advanced features of the SATA controller.
IDE - This is the most backwards-compatible setting of the two options. Operating systems usually
do not require additional driver support in IDE mode.
NOTE: The AHCI device driver must be installed prior to attempting to boot from an AHCI
volume. If you attempt to boot from an AHCI volume without the required device driver installed,
the system will crash (blue screen).
Allows you to execute self-tests on ATA hard drives capable of performing the Drive Protection
System (DPS) self-tests.
NOTE: This selection will only appear when at least one drive capable of performing the DPS
self-tests is attached to the system.
Allows you to:

media device, hard drive, optical drive, or network interface card) are checked for a bootable
operating system image. Each device on the list may be individually excluded from or
included for consideration as a bootable operating system source.
●
Specify the order of attached hard drives. The first hard drive in the order will have priority in
the boot sequence and will be recognized as drive C (if any devices are attached).
Press F5 to disable a device. Press

NOTE: MS-DOS drive lettering assignments may not apply after a non-MS-DOS operating
system has started.

for this one time.
