(Default: Enabled)
Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode (GIGABYTE SATA2 Chip)
Enables or disables RAID for the SATA controller integrated in the GIGABYTE SATA 2 chip.
IDE Configures the SATA controller to PATA mode. (Default)
AHCI Configures the SATA controller to AHCI mode. Advanced Host Controller
Interface (AHCI) is an interface specification that allows the storage driver to
enable advanced Serial ATA features such as Native Command Queuing and
hot plug. For more information about AHCI, please visit Intel's website.
RAID/IDE Enables RAID for the SATA controller. (The IDE controller still operates in PATA
mode)

When a Cable Problem Occurs...
If a cable problem occurs on a specified pair of wires, the Status field will show Short and
thenlength shown will be the approximate distance to the fault or short.
Example: Pair1-2 Status = Short / Length = 1.6m
Explanation: A fault or short might occur at about 1.6m on Pair 1-2.
Note: Pair 4-5 and Pair 7-8 are not used in a 10/100 Mbps environment, so their Status fields will
show Open, and the length shown is the approximate length of the attached LAN cable.
