• Enabled BIOS Only - SAS controller is controlled only by the BIOS. This
setting may not be supported by all OS drivers. For example, it is not
possible to disable an adapter in a Windows driver.
• Enabled OS Only - SAS controller is controlled only by the OS driver.
• Disabled - SAS controller is not controlled by the BIOS when the SAS
controller is loaded. However, the adapter is still visible through the
