Using IDE Drives Setup

In addition to listing the different IDE devices, there are options for configuring the serial and parallel IDE controllers.

Parallel ATA

This setting allows the user to disable one or both of the parallel

 

IDE controllers.

Serial ATA

This setting allows the user to disable the serial ATA controller.

Native Mode Operation This setting is only available when the serial ATA controller is enabled. This allows the user to specify whether the parallel and serial ATA controllers will operate in ″legacy″ or ″native″ mode. By default, they will operate in native mode unless both parallel ATA controllers are populated and a serial ATA drive is present. Then the serial ATA drive will become ″native″ mode. The user can select Automatic or the serial ATA controller to run in ″native″ mode. However, running in ″native″ mode might not work with older operating systems.

To configure IDE Drives Setup, do the following:

1.Start the IBM Setup Utility program (see “Starting the IBM Setup Utility program” on page 25).

2.From the IBM Setup Utility program menu, select Devices.

3.Select IDE Drives Setup.

4.Select the desired devices and settings and press Enter.

5.Return to the IBM Setup Utility program menu and select Exit and then Save Settings.

Selecting a startup device

If your computer does not start up (boot) from a device such as the CD-ROM, diskette, or hard disk as expected, use one of the following procedures to select a startup device.

Selecting a temporary startup device

Use this procedure to startup from any boot device.

Note: Not all CDs and hard disks are startable (bootable).

2.Press and hold the F12 key then turn on your computer. When the Startup Device Menu displays, release the F12 key.

Note: If you have a USB keyboard installed on your computer, turn on the computer and then press F12 until the Startup Device Menu displays.

3.Select the desired startup device from the Startup Device Menu and press Enter to begin.

Note: Selecting a startup device from the Startup Device Menu does not permanently change the startup sequence.
