IDE Configuration: Storage Device BIOS Settings

The IDE configuration section is where the BIOS settings for all storage devices are configured. There are three

basic operation modes for storage drives: IDE (default), AHCI, and RAID. Most current systems will use AHCI

or RAID mode.

IDE mode is configured as default; it is included for legacy operating systems which do not support SATA. AHCI

is available for systems which want to use full SATA capabilities, but with only a single or dual independent

drives. RAID mode is available for systems which wish to configure two or more SATA drives in a RAID array.

HDC Configure As: Host Drive Controller Configuration

The host drive controller may be configured for IDE (legacy default), AHCI, or RAID RAID mode (Options: IDE

(default), AHCI, RAID).

When the legacy IDE mode is selected, the following screen will appear.

For normal SATA functionality, select AHCI. When this option is selected, AHCI SALP () may be enabled. Four

SATA interfaces (0–3)will be highlighted; only the first two SATA ports are enabled by default, with port 0

enabling the removable drive tray on the front panel, and port 1 enabling the drive expansion slot accessed

through the bottom panel. The figure below displays the AHCI configuration screen:
