ATA/IDE Configuration

Please select [Compatible] when you install legacy OS (Windows NT). If native OS (Windows 2000 / XP) is installed, please select [Enhanced]. Then in the option “Configure SATA as”, you are allowed to set the selection from [AHCI] to [RAID] if you plan to enable RAID function. Configuration options: [AHCI], [IDE], and [RAID]. The default value is [AHCI].

1.AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) supports Hot Plug, NCQ and other new features that will improve SATA disk performance but IDE mode does not have these advantages.

2.Only AHCI and RAID modes support Hot Plug function.

When [Compatible] is selected

Combined Option

It allows you to select between [SATA0, 1, 2, 3], [IDE1, SATA1, SATA3], and [SATA0, SATA2, IDE1]. If it is set to [SATA0, SATA2, IDE1], then SATAII_BLACK (PORT1), SATAII_ORANGE (PORT3) will not work. Likewise, if it is set to [IDE1, SATA1, SATA3], then SATAII_BLUE (PORT0), SATAII_RED (PORT2) will not work.
