Serial ATA Hard Disk Setting for IDE
Serial ATA channel can only connect to one SATA hard disk at a time; there are total 2
connectors,
J20 & J25
. The installation of Serial ATA is simpler
and easier than IDE because of SATA hard disk doesn’t require HDD priority setting
jumper, which can reduce mistake of hardware installation. All you need to do is
plugging in two cables and choose SATA mode needed in BIOS.
5.2 BIOS
Setting
To make sure that you have a successful start with NANO-6040, it is recommended
while going with the boot-up sequence. Hit the
“Del or F2
” key and enter the BIOS
setup menu to load default setting then tune up a stable BIOS configuration
according to your needs.
Restore the default optimal setting
When prompted with the main setup menu, please scroll down to “
Restore
defaults”,
press
“Enter”
and
“Y”
to load in default optimal BIOS setup. This will
force your BIOS setting back to the initial factory configuration. It is recommended to
do this so you can be sure the system is running with the BIOS setting that Portwell

time when system appears to be unstable in boot up sequence.
