4.1.2 Chipset SATA Mode
The SATA controller of Nuvo-2500 Series supports two modes of operations, IDE and AHCI
mode. IDE mode configures SATA controller to access SATA interface in legacy IDE mode
and is compatible with most storage devices. AHCI mode, which exposes SATA's
advanced capabilities such as hot swapping and native command queuing, can deliver
better performance for disk read/write. As Nuvo-2500 Series no longer supports Windows
XP, we highly recommend you to set
[Chipset SATA Mode]
to
[AHCI]
for better system
performance.
To set
[Chipset SATA Mode]
:
1. When Nuvo-2500 boots up, press F2 to enter BIOS setup utility.
2. Go to
[Advanced] / [SATA Configuration]
.
3. Set the
[Chipset SATA Mode]
option to a proper mode for your Nuvo-2500.
