SATAII Operation Mode

Use this to select SATAII Operation Mode. Configuration options: [IDE],

[RAID], [AHCI] and [Disabled]. The default value is [IDE].

If you select [IDE] mode, the options “SATAII 1,2,3,4 Configuration” and

“SATAII 5,6 Configuration” will appear.

If you select [RAID] or [AHCI] mode, the options “Hot Plug” and “Link Power

Management” will appear.

is [Enabled].

motherboard to submit Windows

Vista

certification.
