Computer Setup—Storage

NOTE: Support for specific Computer Setup options may vary depending on the hardware configuration.

Table 6-3Computer Setup—Storage

Option	Description
Device Configuration	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, connector color.
	●	CD-ROM: Model, firmware version, serial number, connector color (not included for USB CD-ROM).
	●	SMART (ATA disks only)
	●	Diskette: Model and firmware version.
		NOTE: Displays for USB diskette drives.
Storage Options	SATA Emulation
	Allows you to choose how the SATA controller and devices are accessed by the operating system. There
	are three supported options: IDE, RAID, and AHCI (default).
	CAUTION: SATA emulation changes may prevent access to existing hard drive data and degrade or
	corrupt established volumes.
	IDE - This is the most backwards-compatible setting of the three options. Operating systems usually do
	not require additional driver support in IDE mode.
	RAID - Allows DOS and boot access to RAID volumes. Use this mode with the RAID device driver loaded in
	the operating system to take advantage of RAID features.
	AHCI (default option) - Allows operating systems with AHCI device drivers loaded to take advantage of
	more advanced features of the SATA controller.
	NOTE:		The RAID/AHCI device driver must be installed prior to attempting to boot from a RAID/AHCI
	volume. If you attempt to boot from a RAID/AHCI volume without the required device driver installed, the
	system will crash (blue screen). RAID volumes may become corrupted if they are booted to after disabling
	RAID.
	Removable Media Boot
	Enables/disables ability to boot the system from removable media. Default is enabled.
Boot Order	Allows you to:
	●	EFI 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.
