Diskette
Drive
(Internal
default)

Enables and disables the floppy drives and sets read

permission for the internal floppy drive. Off disables all

floppy drives. USB disables the internal diskette drive and

enables a USB floppy drive, if the USB controller is enabled

and a USB drive is connected. Internal enables the internal

floppy drive. Read Only enables the internal drive controller

and allows the internal floppy drive read-only permission.

NOTE:

Operating systems with USB support will recognize USB

floppy drives regardless of this setting.

SATA 0
through 4
(On default)

Enables (On) or disables (Off) a SATA drive.
Displays the Controller type (SATA), Port number the drive

is using, Drive ID number, and Capacity.

NOTE:

SATA 4 can be enabled or disabled when SATA

Operation is set to RAID Autodetect/AHCI. In other modes, this

field might be non-functional. In this case, the text in the SATA 4

field reads as follows:
This SATA port is disabled because the
system has been configured for ATA mode.

SATA
Operation
(RAID Autode
tect/ AHCI
default)

Determines the integrated SATA controller's operating mode.

RAID Autodetect/ AHCI – RAID if the drives are signed,

otherwise AHCI. RAID Autodetect/ ATA – RAID if the drives

are signed, otherwise ATA. RAID On – SATA is configured for

RAID on every boot.

SMART
Reporting
(Off
default)

Controls whether errors for integrated drives are reported

during startup.

Onboard Devices

Integrated
NIC
(On default)

Enables or disables the integrated NIC controller. Settings are

On, Off, On w/RPL, or On w/ PXE. When the On w/ PXE or

the On w/RPL setting is active, if a boot routine is not

available from the network server, the computer attempts to

boot from the next device in the boot sequence list.
