Storage Device
Configuration
Lists installed non-SCSI storage devices (except SATA devices) and provides options for obtaining
specific information about each device:
●
Hard Disk—Provides information about the hard 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—Defines the transfer of data per interrupt. Options are 8, 16, and
Disable (16 is the default).
◦
Transfer Mode—Specifies the active data transfer mode. Options (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 determine the translation mode used to
configure a formatted SATA or USB mass storage device. This prevents you from
needing to know how the mass storage device was formatted. Options are Automatic,
Bit Shift, LBA Assisted, Use (Cylinders, Heads, Sectors), and Off. Automatic is the
default.
Ordinarily, you should not change the translation mode selected by the BIOS. 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.
