Computer Setup—Storage

NOTE: Support for specific Computer Setup options may vary depending on the hardware configuration.

Table 3 Computer Setup—Storage

Option

Description

 

 

Device Configuration

Lists all installed BIOS-controlled storage devices.

 

When a device is selected, detailed information and options are displayed. The following options

 

may be presented.

 

Emulation Type

 

Allows you to select a drive emulation type for a certain storage device. (For example, a Zip drive

 

can be made bootable by selecting diskette emulation.)

 

Drive Emulation Type Options

 

ATAPI Zip drive:

 

None (treated as Other).

 

Diskette (treated as diskette drive).

 

CD-ROM: No emulation options available.

 

ATAPI LS-120:

 

None (treated as Other).

 

Diskette (treated as diskette drive).

 

Hard Disk

 

None (prevents BIOS data accesses and disables it as a boot device).

 

Hard Disk (treated as hard disk).

 

Translation Mode (ATA disks only)

 

Lets you select the translation mode to be used for the device. This enables the BIOS to access

 

disks partitioned and formatted on other systems and may be necessary for users of older versions

 

of UNIX (e.g., SCO UNIX version 3.2). Options are Automatic, Bit-Shift, LBA Assisted, User, and

 

Off.

 

CAUTION: Ordinarily, the translation mode selected automatically by the BIOS should not be

 

changed. If the selected translation mode is not compatible with the translation mode that was

 

active when the disk was partitioned and formatted, the data on the disk will be inaccessible.

 

Translation Parameters (ATA disks only)

 

NOTE: This feature appears only when User translation mode is selected.

 

Allows you to specify the parameters (logical cylinders, heads, and sectors per track) used by the

 

BIOS to translate disk I/O requests (from the operating system or an application) into terms the

 

hard drive can accept. Logical cylinders may not exceed 1024. The number of heads may not

 

exceed 256. The number of sectors per track may not exceed 63. These fields are only visible and

 

changeable when the drive translation mode is set to User.

 

SATA Default Values

 

Allows you to specify the default values for the Translation Mode for ATA devices.
