SATA Mode Selection [IDE]

[IDE] Set to [IDE] when you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as
Parallel ATA physical storage devices.

hard disk drives.

S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a monitor system. When

messages during the POST. Configuration options: [Enabled] [Disabled]
Hot Plug [Disabled]
These items appear only when you set the SATA mode item to [AHCI] or [RAID], and allow
you to enable/disable SATA Hot Plug Support. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
