Heading	Option	Description
Storage	Storage Options	SATA Emulation
(continued)	(continued)	Allows you to choose how the SATA controller and devices are
		accessed by the operating system. There are up to three supported
		options: IDE, RAID, and AHCI.
		IDE is the default option. Use this option for “normal” (non-RAID,
		non-AHCI) configurations.
		Select the RAID option to enable DOS and boot accesses to RAID
		volumes. Use this option for RAID configurations under Windows
		2000, XP, or Vista with the appropriate RAID device driver.
		✎ The RAID device driver must be installed prior to attempting to
		boot from a RAID volume. If you attempt to boot from a RAID
		volume without the required device driver installed, the system
		will crash (blue screen). Also, do not select the RAID option while
		the DriveLock feature is enabled on any attached hard drives.
		Doing so will cause the DriveLocked drives to remain locked and
		inaccessible during subsequent reboots until another SATA
		emulation mode is selected.
		Select the ACHI option to enable DOS and boot accesses to SATA
		devices using the AHCI interface. Select this mode if the target
		operating system supports accessing the SATA devices via AHCI
		(e.g. Windows Vista) and AHCI accesses are desired.
		✎ Windows 2000 and Windows XP require a third-party device
		driver to access SATA devices using the AHCI interface. If you
		attempt to boot with either of these operating systems in AHCI
		mode without the required device driver, the system will crash
		(blue screen).
		SATA 0 and 2
		Allows you to enable or disable DOS and boot accesses to the
		Primary channel of the first SATA controller. This feature only applies
		when SATA emulation = IDE.
		✎ Advanced operating systems like Windows may reenable the
		channel.
		SATA 1 and 3
		Allows you to enable or disable DOS and boot accesses to the
		Secondary channel of the first SATA controller. This feature only
		applies when SATA emulation = IDE.
		✎ Advanced operating systems like Windows may reenable the
		channel.
		✎
	DPS Self-Test	Allows you to execute self-tests on ATA hard drives capable of
		performing the Drive Protection System (DPS) self-tests.

✎This selection will only appear when at least one drive capable of performing the DPS self-tests is attached to the system.

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