SATA Port5 - Port6 [IDE]

Setting this item to [IDE] instead of [RAID] or [AHCI] allows the system to recognize the optical

dirves connected to the SATA connectors 5 or 6 when installing OS.

If you use a SATA optical drive to run the OS installation disk, we strongly recommend that

you install the optical dirve to the SATA connectors 5/6 and set them to [IDE] mode.
