Table 7-2 Computer Setup—Storage (continued)
Storage Options | SATA Emulation |
| Allows you to choose how the SATA controller and devices are accessed by the operating system. |
| There are three supported options: IDE, RAID, and AHCI (default). |
| CAUTION: SATA emulation changes may prevent access to existing hard drive data and |
| degrade or corrupt established volumes. |
| IDE - This is the most |
| do not require additional driver support in IDE mode. |
| RAID - Allows DOS and boot access to RAID volumes. Use this mode with the RAID device driver |
| loaded in the operating system to take advantage of RAID features. |
| AHCI (default option) - Allows operating systems with AHCI device drivers loaded to take |
| advantage of more advanced features of the SATA controller. |
| NOTE: The RAID/AHCI device driver must be installed prior to attempting to boot from a RAID/ |
| AHCI volume. If you attempt to boot from a RAID/AHCI volume without the required device driver |
| installed, the system will crash (blue screen). RAID volumes may become corrupted if they are |
| booted to after disabling RAID. |
| Removable Media Boot |
| Enables/disables ability to boot the system from removable media. Default is enabled. |
