Question 11:
How to set in the BIOS in order to bootup from SATA HDDs by either RAID or ATA
mode?
Answer:
Please set in the BIOS as follow:
1. Advanced BIOS features--> SATA/RAID/SCSI boot order: "SATA"
2. Advanced BIOS features--> First boot device: "SCSI"
3. Integrated Peripherals--> Onboard H/W Serial ATA: "enable"
Then it depends on the SATA mode that you need to set "RAID" to RAID mode or "BASE" to
normal ATA mode in the item named Serial ATA function.
