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.
