Configuration
Lists all installed storage devices.
When a device is selected, detailed information and options are displayed.
Hard Disk
Identifies the hard disk drives on the system by model, firmware, serial number, connector color,
emulation type, multisector transfers, and translation mode.
By default, SATA drives are not listed here.
Default values can be set here for IDE and SATA drives, but not for SAS drives.
Translation Mode does not appear by default.
CD-ROM
Identifies the CD-ROM drives on 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
Enables you to set the default values for , SAS, and SATA devices.
Translation Mode (SATA disks only)
Enables you to select the translation mode to be used for the device, which enables the BIOS to
access disks partitioned and formatted on other systems and might be necessary for users of older
versions of UNIX (R) (for example, SCO UNIX version 3.2). Options are Bit-Shift, LBA Assisted,
Off, and Automatic.
NOTE: The automatic option has been added to allow BIOS to automatically determine the
translation mode used to configure a previously formatted SAS, SATA, or USB mass storage
device. This functionality 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
disk was partitioned and formatted, the data on the disk will be inaccessible.
