SATA Emulation

executes. This emulation mode offers the best performance and most functionality.
●

●
Combined IDE Controller–Makes the SATA controller look like an IDE controller and offers
best IDE compatibility (two ports only).
●
AHCI–Offers full SATA and SATA-II functionality with no support for RAID.
NOTE: DriveLock is not available in RAID+AHCI mode.

Primary SATA Controller

DPS Self-test Enables you to select a drive test for a SATA drive. It is not displayed by default and not available
for RAID and AHCI configurations.
Boot Order Enables you to configure the boot, diskette drive, and hard drive orders by physically reordering
the menu entries. The default boot order presents these selections:
●
Optical Drive
●
Diskette Drive
●
USB Device
●
Hard Drive
●
Broadcom Ethernet controller
Press Enter to drag a device to a preferred place. Press F5 to remove the device from consideration
as a bootable device.
NOTE: MS-DOS drive lettering assignments might not apply after a non-MS-DOS operating
system has started.
Boot devices can be disabled from participating in the boot order process. These order changes
are reconciled with the IPL/BCV historical information and stored in the physical ROM part when
the F10 Setup changes are confirmed with File/Save Changes and Exit.
Shortcut to Temporarily Override Boot Order: To boot one time from a device other than the default
device specified in Boot Order, restart the workstation and press F9 when the F9=Boot Menu
message appears on the screen. After POST completes, a list of bootable devices is displayed.
Use the arrow keys to select the preferred bootable device and press Enter. The workstation then
boots from the selected non-default device for this one time.
