Advanced Menu 5 - 9

Installed O/S (Advanced Menu)
This setting tells the computer what kind of operating system you’re using. Make
sure you choose the correct setting for your O/S in order to prevent system problems.
Note: If you select the Vista/Win7 O/S then the SATA Mode Selection menu will
become available. If you are installing the Windows XP O/S make sure you have set
the appropriate operating system here in order to prevent system problems.
SATA Mode Selection (Advanced Menu)
This menu is only available if you select the Vista/Win7 O/S as your operating sys-
tem. You can configure SATA (Serial ATA) control to operate in either IDE (native/
compatible) or AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) modes from this menu.
The SATA mode should be set to AHCI mode for this system (unless you are sure
your hard disk can only operate in IDE mode). If you are unsure of the mode your
hard disk supports contact your service center. Note the following:
• If you have installed the Windows Vista/Windows 7 O/S with AHCI enabled,
DO NOT disable it (see sidebar).
•The SATA mode should be set to AHCI if you have included an Intel Turbo
Memory (Robson) NAND flash memory card module
in your purchase option.
•The SATA mode should be set to AHCI to support eSATA port hot-swapping.
SATA Mode Selection
If you have installed the
Windows Vista/ Windows
7 operating system with
AHCI mode enabled (de-
fault setting), DO NOT dis-
able AHCI mode (if you
wish to disable AHCI mode
you will need to reinstall the
Windows Vista/ Windows
7 OS).
Intel Turbo Memory
Select AHCI mode in Sata
Mode Selection if you have
included an Intel Turbo
Memory module in your
purchase configuration.
You should then enable
support for Intel Turbo
Memory from DFOROM
(Robson) Support (see
page 5 - 10).
