Configuration
Lists all installed nonSCSI storage devices (except SATA devices) and provides options for
obtaining specific information about each device.
Hard Disk—Provides information about the hard disk drives in the system.
CD-ROM—Provides information about the optical drives in the system.
Diskette Type (for legacy diskette drives only)— Identifies the highest capacity media type
accepted by the diskette drive. Options are 3.5" (1.44 MB), 5.25" (1.2 MB), and Not Installed.
Default Values—Resets devices to their default configuration (SATA is the default).
Multisector Transfers options are 8, 16, and Disable (16 is the default).
Transfer Mode specifies the active data transfer mode. Options (which are subject to device
capabilities) are: Max UDMA, PIO 0, Max PIO, Enhanced DMA, and Ultra DMA0 (Max UDMA is
the default).
Translation Mode enables the BIOS to automatically determine the translation mode used to
configure a previously formatted SATA or USB mass storage device. This prevents you from having
to know how the mass storage device was previously formatted.
Ordinarily, the translation mode selected automatically by the BIOS should not be changed. If the
selected translation mode is not compatible with the translation mode that was active when the
drive was partitioned and formatted, the data on the disk is inaccessible.
Translation Mode Options are: Automatic, Bit Shift, LBA Assisted, Use (Cylinders, Heads, Sectors),
and Off (Automatic is default).
Storage Options Removable Media Boot—Enables and disables the ability to boot the system from removable
media.
Legacy Diskette Write—Enables and disables the ability to write data to removable media.
