Description
Device Configuration
Lists all installed BIOS-controlled storage devices.
When a device is selected, detailed information and options are displayed. The following options may be
presented:
●
Hard Disk
: Size, model, firmware version, serial number.
Storage Options
SATA Emulation
Allows you to choose how the SATA controller and devices are accessed by the operating system. There
are two supported options: IDE and AHCI (default).
CAUTION:
SATA emulation changes may prevent access to existing hard drive data and degrade or
corrupt established volumes.
IDE - This is the most backwards-compatible setting of the three options. Operating systems usually do
not require additional driver support in IDE mode.
AHCI (default option) - Allows operating systems with AHCI device drivers loaded to take advantage of
more advanced features of the SATA controller.
DPS Self-Test
Allows you to execute self-tests on ATA hard drives capable of performing the Drive Protection System
(DPS) self-tests.
NOTE:
This selection will only appear when at least one drive capable of performing the DPS self tests
is attached to the system.
