3.6.3 On-Chip Primary / Secondary IDE Device

IDE Primary Master/Slave PIO/UDMA Mode (Auto). The channel has both a master and a slave, making four IDE devices possible. Because two IDE devices may have a different Mode timing (0, 1, 2, 3, 4), it is necessary for these to be independent. The default setting “Auto” will allow auto detection to ensure optimal performance.

3.6.4 SATA Mode

The setting choices for the SATA Mode are IDE, RAID and AHCI Mode. Select [IDE] if you want to have SATA function as IDE. Select [AHCI] for Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) feature, with improved SATA performance and native command queuing. Select [RAID] to use SATA for RAID.

Note: Please refer to the PDF-format Intel (R) Matrix Storage Technology Quick Start Guide and Intel (R) Matrix Storage Manager User's Manual in this CD (in the MANUAL folder) to know the necessary steps to build and configure your RAID 0, 1, 10, 5 system using Intel (R) Matrix Storage Technology and Matrix Storage Man- ager.

3.6.5 Note: On-Chip Serial ATA

Choose the status of serial ATA. The default setting is “Auto” which lets the system arrange all parallel and serial ATA resources automatically. The “Disabled” setting disables the SATA controller. The “Combined Mode” combines PATA and SATA, and maximum of 2 IDE drives in each channel. The “Enhanced Mode” enables both SATA and PATA, and a maximum of 6 IDE drives are supported. The “SATA Only” setting means SATA is operating in legacy mode.

3.6.6 PATA IDE Mode

This item allows you to select the parallel ATA channel. Setting options are Primary and Secondary.

3.6.7 SATA Port

This feature allows users to view the SATA port as primary or secondary channel. If PATA IDE Mode is set to “Primary”, it will display “P1, P3 Secondary” which means that SATA1 and SATA3 are secondary. If PATA IDE Mode is set to “Secondary,” it will display “P0, P2 Second- ary” which means that SATA0 and SATA2 are secondary.
