Chapter 3: BIOS setup

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.
