Table 4-2. SATA Configuration Submenu (Continued)

Menu Item	Description
	PIO (Programmable I/O) mode programs timing cycles between the IDE drive
	and the programmable IDE controller. As the PIO mode increases, the cycle time
	decreases. The options are Auto, 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Select Auto to allow BIOS to
	auto detect the PIO mode.
	Use this value if the IDE disk drive support cannot be determined.
	• Select 0 to allow BIOS to use PIO mode 0, which has a data transfer rate of
	3.3 MBs.
	• Select 1 to allow BIOS to use PIO mode 1, which has a data transfer rate of
PIO Mode	5.2 MBs.
	• Select 2 to allow BIOS to use PIO mode 2, which has a data transfer rate of
	8.3 MBs.
	• Select 3 to allow BIOS to use PIO mode 3, which has a data transfer rate of
	11.1 MBs.
	• Select 4 to allow BIOS to use PIO mode 4, which has a data transfer rate of
	16.6 MBs.
	This setting generally works with all hard disk drives manufactured after 1999.
	For other disk drives, such as IDE CD-ROM drives, check the specifications of
	the drive.
	Selects the DMA Mode. Options are Auto, SWDMA0, SWDMA1, SWDMA2,
DMA Mode	MWDMA0. MDWDMA1, MWDMA2, UDMA0. UDMA1, UDMA2, UDMA3,
	UDMA4 and UDMA5. (SWDMA=Single Word DMA, MWDMA=Multi Word DMA,
	UDMA=UltraDMA.
	Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) can help predict
	impending drive failures. Select Auto to allow BIOS to auto detect hard disk
S.M.A.R.T.	drive support. Select "Disabled" to prevent AMI BIOS from using the S.M.A.R.T.
	Select ENABLED to allow AMI BIOS to use the S.M.A.R.T. to support hard drive
	disk. The options are DISABLED, ENABLED, and Auto.
32-Bit Data	Select Enabled to activate the 32-Bit Data Transfer function. Select DISABLED to
