Configure SATA Channels
This function configures the BIOS logical drive order.
Note: This function is only available when the IDE Configuration is set to Enhanced.
Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings: Before PATA
Hard Disk Drive Write Protect
This function is used to enable write protection for all hard disk drives in the system.
Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings: Disabled
IDE Detect Timeout (Seconds)
This function is used to specify the number of seconds after which the BIOS stops searching
for IDE devices. Basically, this allows you to fine-tune the settings to allow for faster boot times.
Adjust this setting until a suitable timing that can detect all IDE disk drives attached is found.
Note: Different IDE disk drives take longer for the BIOS to locate than others do.
Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings: 35
SETTING DESCRIPTION
Before PATA Use this setting to specify that the SATA controller device's channels are enumerated as pri-
mary and slave channels and the PATA controller's channel is enumerated as third.
Behind PATA Use this setting to specify that the PATA controller channel is enumerated as primary and
the SATA controller's channels are enumerated as third and forth.
SETTING DESCRIPTION
Disabled Use this setting to allow the hard disk drive to be used normally. Read, write, and erase
functions can be performed to the hard disk drive.
Enabled Use this setting to prevent the hard disk drive from being erased.
SETTING DESCRIPTION
0 This value is the best setting to use if the onboard IDE controllers are set to a specific IDE disk
drive in the AMIBIOS.
5 Use this setting to stop the BIOS from searching the IDE bus for IDE disk drives within five sec-
onds. A large majority of ultra ATA hard disk drives can be detected well within five seconds.
10 Use this setting to stop the BIOS from searching the IDE bus for IDE disk drives within 10 seconds.
15 Use this setting to stop the BIOS from searching the IDE bus for IDE disk drives within 15 seconds.
20 Use this setting to stop the BIOS from searching the IDE bus for IDE disk drives within 20 seconds.
25 Use this setting to stop the BIOS from searching the IDE bus for IDE disk drives within 25 seconds.
30 Use this setting to stop the BIOS from searching the IDE bus for IDE disk drives within 30 seconds.
35 Use this setting to stop the BIOS from searching the IDE bus for IDE disk drives within 35 seconds.
This is the recommended setting when all IDE connectors are set to AUTO in the BIOS setting.
