Intel Anti-Theft Technology (Advanced Menu)
Anti-Theft Technology, which is built-in to the processor of the computer, allows
system administrators to render your computer useless to thieves by sending a poi-
son pillencrypted SMS message over a 3G network etc. Administrators can also re-
motely unlock a recovered computer quickly, or direct the system to send location
information (GPS coordinates) back to a central server.
SATA Mode (Advanced Menu)
You can configure SATA (Serial ATA) control to operate in IDE (native/compati-
ble), AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) or RAID (Redundant Array of In-
dependent disks) 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). See
"Setting Up SATA RAID or AHCI Mode" on page 7 - 2
details.
Make sure you install the Intel Rapid Storage Technology application if you have
set the SATA Mode to RAID or AHCI (see
on page 7 -
45).
