Table 3 Computer Setup—Storage (continued)

 

NOTE: After saving changes to Removable Media Write, the computer will restart. Turn the

 

computer off, then on, manually.

 

SATA Emulation

 

Allows you to choose how the SATA controller and devices are accessed by the operating system.

 

There are two supported options: IDE and RAID.

 

IDE is the default option. Use this option for "normal" (non-RAID) 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.

 

NOTE: 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.

 

NOTE: SATA Emulation is not available on USDT systems.

 

 

DPS Self-Test

Allows you to execute self-tests on ATA hard drives capable of performing the Drive Protection

 

System (DPS) self-tests.

 

NOTE: This selection will only appear when at least one drive capable of performing the DPS self-

 

tests is attached to the system.

 

 

Boot Order

Allows you to:

 

● Specify the order in which attached devices (such as a USB flash media device, diskette drive,

 

hard drive, optical drive, or network interface card) are checked for a bootable operating system

 

image. Each device on the list may be individually excluded from or included for consideration

 

as a bootable operating system source.

 

● Specify the order of attached hard drives. The first hard drive in the order will have priority in

 

the boot sequence and will be recognized as drive C (if any devices are attached).

 

NOTE: MS-DOS drive lettering assignments may not apply after a non-MS-DOS operating system

 

has started.

 

Shortcut to Temporarily Override Boot Order

 

To boot one time from a device other than the default device specified in Boot Order, restart the

 

computer and press F9 when the monitor light turns green. After POST is completed, a list of bootable

 

devices is displayed. Use the arrow keys to select the preferred bootable device and press Enter.

 

The computer then boots from the selected non-default device for this one time.
