SATA1-4

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 <Enter> 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 SATA device is installed in the system.

Type [Auto]

Selects the type of SATA drive. Setting to Auto allows automatic selection of the

appropriate SATA device type. Select CDROM if you are specifically configuring a

CD-ROM drive. Select ARMD (ATAPI Removable Media Device) if your device is

either a ZIP, LS-120, or MO drive.

Configuration options: [Not Installed] [Auto] [CDROM] [ARMD]

LBA/Large Mode [Auto]

Enables or disables the LBA mode. Setting to Auto enables the LBA mode if the

device supports this mode, and if the device was not previously formatted with LBA

mode disabled. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Auto]

Block (Multi-Sector Transfer) [Auto]

Enables or disables data multi-sectors transfers. When set to Auto, the data

transfer from and to the device occurs multiple sectors at a time if the device

supports multi-sector transfer feature. When set to [Disabled], the data transfer

from and to the device occurs one sector at a time.

Configuration options: [Disabled] [Auto]
