The BIOS automatically detects the values opposite the dimmed items (Device, Vendor, Size, LBA Mode, Block Mode, PIO Mode, Async DMA, Ultra DMA, and SMART monitoring). These values are not user-configurable. These items show N/A if no SATA device is installed in the system.

Configuration options: [Not Installed] [Auto] [CDROM] [ARMD]
