SATA Configuration Screen

Table 2-5 lists the options and descriptions for the information fields that appear on the SATA Configuration screen.

NOTE: When a SAS Card is installed in the system, the SATA Configuration screen changes. The SATA controller field displays ATA Mode and will be unchoosable. Port A, Port B, Port C, and Port D display off and are also unchoosable. When the SAS Card is unplugged, the SATA Configuration screen settings will be loaded to default values.
