6.3.5 AHCI Configuration

NOTE:

Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) is a new programming

interface for SATA host controllers. AHCI systems do not have

master/slave designation for SATA devices, each device is treated as a

master, and hardware-assisted native command queuing.

Use the AHCI Settings menu (

841H

BIOS Menu 8) to report on the auto-detection of devices

connected to the onboard SATA drive connectors.

BIOS Menu 8: AHCI Configuration

AHCI Port n [Not Detected]

Use the AHCI Port n BIOS option to check what AHCI (Advanced Host Controller

Interface) devices are detected to a specified SATA drive connector. If a device is

detected, selecting the BIOS option, e.g. “AHCI Port 3” opens a new window.
