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, User (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.

Protection System (DPS) self-tests.
