SATA Mode Selection [AHCI]

Allows you to set the SATA configuration.

Set to [IDE Mode] when you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as

Parallel ATA physical storage devices.

[AHCI]

Set to [AHCI Mode] when you want the SATA hard disk drives to use the

messages during the POST. Configuration options: [Enabled] [Disabled]

Hot Plug [Disabled]
