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 version, serial number.
SATA Emulation
Allows you to choose how the SATA controller and devices are accessed by the operating system.
Supported options include: IDE and AHCI (default).
CAUTION:
SATA emulation changes may prevent access to existing hard drive data and degrade or
corrupt established volumes.
IDE Mode- This is the default and most backwards-compatible setting of the options. Operating systems
usually do not require additional driver support in IDE mode. Use this option for "normal" (non-RAID)
configurations
AHCI Mode (default option) - Allows operating systems with AHCI device drivers loaded to take advantage
of more advanced features of the SATA controller.
Removable Media Boot
Enables/disables ability to boot the system from removable media. Default is enabled.
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.

UEFI Boot Sources: Specify the order in which EFI boot sources (such as a internal hard drive, USB
hard drive, USB optical drive, or internal optical drive) 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.
EFI boot sources always have precedence over legacy boot sources.
Legacy Boot Sources: Specify the order in which legacy boot sources (such as a network interface
card, internal hard drive, USB optical drive, or internal optical drive) 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).
NOTE:
To drag a device to a preferred place, press Enter. To remove the device from consideration as a
bootable device, press F5.
You can use
F5
to disable individual boot items, as well as disable EFI boot and/or legacy boot.
NOTE:
MS-DOS drive lettering assignments may not apply after a non-MS-DOS operating system has
started.
