Configure SATA As [IDE]
Sets the configuration for the Serial ATA connectors supported by the
Southbridge chip.
If you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as Parallel ATA physical
storage devices, set this item to [IDE].
Set this item to [RAID], if you want to create a RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1,
or RAID 5 configurations using the Intel ® Matrix Storage Manager or if you
want to create a RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 configurations using the LSI
Logic Embedded SATA RAID Setup Utility.
Set the item Configure SATA as to [RAID] if you want to use or
configure the SATA connectors under SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9.0
SP1 operating system environment. Due to the OS limitation, you must
set a SATA RAID to use any SATA device (at least two SATA devices are
needed for the RAID configuration). Refer to Chapter 5 and Chapter 6
for details on how to set a SATA RAID.
