SATA Mode Selection (Advanced Menu)
This menu is only available if you select the Vista O/S as your operating system.
You can configure SATA (Serial ATA) control to operate in either IDE (native/
compatible) or AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) modes from this menu.
The SATA mode should be set to AHCI mode for this system (unless you are sure
your hard disk can only operate in IDE mode). If you are unsure of the mode your
hard disk supports contact your service center. Note the following:
• If you have installed the Windows Vista O/S with AHCI enabled, DO NOT dis-
able it (see sidebar).
• The SATA mode should be set to AHCI if you have included an Intel Turbo
Memory (Robson) NAND flash memory card module in your purchase option.
• The SATA mode should be set to AHCI to support e-SATA port hot-swapping.
• You will need to install the Intel Matrix Storage driver (see “Intel Turbo
Memory & Matrix Storage Setup and Driver Installation” on page 7 - 47 ) to
support the e-SATA port in Windows Vista, and also if you have included Intel
Turbo Memory (Robson) NAND flash memory card module in your purchase
option.

Use this menu item to enable/disable the support for Legacy Universal Serial Bus.
