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 With Intel Optane System
Acceleration (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 With Intel Optane System Acceleration (for Intel Optane), or to
AHCI (see “IRST Driver Installation” on page 6 - 37).
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.
