SATA Mode (Advanced Menu)
You can configure SATA (Serial ATA) control to operate in AHCI (Advanced Host
Controller Interface) or RAID (Redundant Array of Independent disks) modes from
this menu. The SATA Mode should be set BEFORE installing an operating sys-
tem , and after you have backed up all necessary files and data (see sidebar). See
“Setting Up SATA RAID or AHCI Mode” on page 6 - 2 for details. Make sure you
install the Intel Rapid Storage Technology application if you have set the SATA
Mode to RAID, or to AHCI “Sound Blaster Audio” on page 6 - 37 .
If you wish to change your SATA mode to/from AHCI/RAID mode you will receive
a message (see overleaf) to notify you that doing so may prevent your operating sys-
tem from booting, and may require a reinstall of the OS. If you do wish to change
the SATA mode then backup any necessary data on your hard disk(s) as you will
need wipe the disks clean in order to prevent system problems.
