Chapter 3
• When the SATA Port1–Port 4 and the SATA Port5–eSATA items are set to [AHCI],
the information of the SATA connectors 1–5 & eSATA can be seen only under the OS
environment or during POST.
• For Windows ® XP OS, you have to install the AHCI driver, so that you could use the
SATA connectors 1–5 & eSATA in AHCI mode under the OS environment.
If you use a SATA optical drive to run the Windows OS installation disk, we strongly
recommend that you install the optical drive to the SATA connector 5 & eSATA and set them
to [IDE] mode.
