While entering Setup, the BIOS automatically detects the presence of SATA

devices. There is a separate sub-menu for each SATA device. Select a device item

then press to display the SATA device information.

The BIOS automatically detects the values opposite the dimmed items (Device,

Vendor, Size, LBA Mode, Block Mode, PIO Mode, Async DMA, Ultra DMA, and

SMART monitoring). These values are not user-configurable. These items show

N/A if no IDE device is installed in the system.
