Mass Storage Controller Configuration
The Mass Storage Configuration screen allows the user to configure the Mass Storage controllers that are
integrated into the server board on which the BIOS is executing. This includes only onboard Mass
Storage controllers. Mass Storage controllers on add-in cards are not included in this screen, nor are other
storage mechanisms such as USB-attached storage devices or Network Attached Storage.
There are two types of onboard controller configured in this screen, the AHCI SATA controller and the
Storage Control Unit (SCU) with SATA or SAS drive support and RAID support. There are also
informational displays of AHCI and SCU controller configuration, and SATA Drive Information when
applicable. If the presence of an Intel
®
Storage Module is detected, the type of Storage Module is
displayed as information-only.
To access this screen from the Main screen, select Advanced > Mass Storage Controller Configuration.
To move to another screen, press the <Esc> key to return to the Advanced screen, then select the desired
screen.
