SATA Mode (Advanced Menu)
The SATA (Serial ATA) control is configured to operate in AHCI (Advanced Host
Controller Interface) mode or in Intel RST Premium (for Intel
® Optane™) mode.
The SATA Mode should be set BEFORE installing an operating system, and after
you have backed up all necessary files and data (see sidebar). See “Setting Up SATA
Mode (Optane™ or AHCI)” on page 6 - 2 for details. Make sure you install the In-
tel Rapid Storage Technology application if you have set the SATA Mode to Intel
RST Premium, or to AHCI (see “IRST Driver Installation” on page 6 - 19).
If you wish to change your SATA mode to/from AHCI/Intel RST (Optane) mode
note that doing so may prevent your operating system from booting, and may require
a reinstall of the OS. If you do wish to change the SATA mode then backup any nec-
essary data on your hard disk(s) as you will need wipe the disks clean in order to pre-
vent system problems.
