2.6.3SATA Configuration

While entering Setup, the BIOS automatically detects the presence of SATA devices. The SATA Port items show Not Present if no SATA device is installed to the corresponding SATA port.

SATA Mode Selection [AHCI]

Allows you to set the SATA configuration.

[Disabled]	Disables the SATA function.
[IDE]	Set to [IDE Mode] when you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as
	Parallel ATA physical storage devices.
[AHCI]	Set to [AHCI Mode] when you want the SATA hard disk drives to use the
	AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface). The AHCI allows the onboard
	storage driver to enable advanced Serial ATA features that increases
	storage performance on random workloads by allowing the drive to
	internally optimize the order of commands.
[RAID]	Set to [RAID Mode] when you want to create a RAID configuration from the
	SATA hard disk drives.

Aggressive LPM Support [Auto]

This item appears only when you set the SATA Mode Selection item to [AHCI] or [RAID], and allow you to enable the PCH to aggressively enter link power state. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled] [Auto]

S.M.A.R.T. Status Check [Enabled]

S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a monitor system. When read/write of your hard disk errors occur, this feature allows the hard disk to report warning messages during the POST. Configuration options: [Enabled] [Disabled]

Hot Plug [Disabled]

This item appears only when you set the SATA Mode Selection item to [AHCI] or [RAID], and allow you to enable/disable SATA Hot Plug Support. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]

2.6.4System Agent Configuration

VT-d [Disabled]

Allows you to enable virtualization technology function on memory control hub.

[Enabled]	Enables the function.
[Disabled]	Disables this function.

CPU Audio Devices [Enabled]

Allows you to enable or disable CPU SA Audio devices. Configuration options: [Enabled] [Disabled]

DVI Port Audio [Disabled]

Allows you to enable or disable the DVI port. Configuration options: [Enabled] [Disabled]
