Storage

Device

Lists installed non-SCSI storage devices (except SATA devices) and provides options for obtaining

 

Configuration

specific information about each device:

 

 

Hard Disk—Provides information about the hard disk drives in the workstation. It is available

 

 

in IDE Mode only.

 

 

CD-ROM—Provides information about the optical disk drives in the workstation. (IDE mode

 

 

only.)

 

 

Diskette Type (for legacy diskette drives only)—Identifies the highest capacity media type

 

 

accepted by the diskette drive. Options are 3.5" (1.44 MB), 5.25" (1.2 MB), and Not Installed.

 

 

Default Values—Resets devices to their default configuration (SATA is the default).

 

 

Multisector Transfers—Defines the transfer of data per interrupt. Options are 8, 16, and

 

 

 

Disable (16 is the default).

 

 

Transfer Mode—Specifies the active data transfer mode. Options (subject to device

 

 

 

capabilities) are Max UDMA, PIO 0, Max PIO, Enhanced DMA, and Ultra DMA0. (Max

 

 

 

UDMA is the default).

 

 

Translation Mode—Enables the BIOS to determine the translation mode used to

 

 

 

configure a formatted SATA or USB mass storage device. This prevents you from

 

 

 

needing to know how the mass storage device was formatted. Options are Automatic,

 

 

 

Bit Shift, LBA Assisted, Use (Cylinders, Heads, Sectors), and Off. Automatic is the

 

 

 

default.

 

 

 

Ordinarily, you should not change the translation mode selected by the BIOS. If the

 

 

 

selected translation mode is not compatible with the translation mode that was active

 

 

 

when the drive was partitioned and formatted, the data on the disk is inaccessible.

 

 

 

 

Storage Options

Provides these options:

 

 

Removable Media Boot—Enables and disables the ability to start the workstation from

 

 

removable media.

 

 

Legacy Diskette Write—Enables and disables the ability to write data to removable media.

 

 

SATA Emulation—Sets the SATA emulation mode with the following options:

 

 

RAID + AHCI—both the RAID and AHCI OPROMs execute. This emulation mode is the

 

 

 

default and offers the best performance and most functionality.

 

 

IDE —offers standard SATA supports (four ports only).

 

 

SATA PORT 0-n—enables and disables the SATA ports. Offers these configurations:

 

 

GEN 2/3.0 Gbps (Internal/eSATA default)

 

 

GEN 1/1.5 Gbps (eSATA optional)

 

 

 

 

DPS Self-test

Select a drive—Enables you to select a drive to test. This option is available in SATA IDE emulation

 

 

mode only.

The DPS self-test function directs an IDE hard disk to run an internal self-test and report the results. If the SATA controller is not in IDE emulation mode, the DPS self-test option is not displayed in the setup menu.

This selection appears only when at least one drive capable of performing the IDE DPS self-test is attached to the workstation. By default, the SATA controller is in RAID+AHCI mode, so this option is not displayed
