Using SATASelect

The SATASelect utility allows you to change the BIOS and SATA HostRAID controller and device settings without opening the computer cabinet.

To access SATASelect:

1Restart the computer, then press Ctrl+A when prompted to access the ARC utility.

2If multiple HostRAID controllers are installed, select the HostRAID controller you want to configure, then press Enter.

3From the ARC menu, select SATASelect Utility.

4To select a menu option, browse with the arrow keys to the option, then press Enter. In some cases, selecting an option displays another menu. You can return to the previous menu at any time by pressing Esc.

5To restore the default SATASelect values, press F6 from within the SATA Driver and Controller Configuration screen.

6To exit SATASelect, press Esc until a message prompts you to exit (if you changed any settings, you are prompted to save the changes before you exit).

7At the prompt, select Yes to exit, then press any key to restart the computer. Any changes you made in SATASelect take effect after the computer restarts.
