The following two items appear only when you set the OnChip SATA Channel 

item to [Enabled].

Sets the configuration for the Serial ATA connectors supported by the Southbridge 

chip. Configuration options: [IDE] [RAID] [AHCI]

•  If you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as Parallel ATA physical 

storage devices, keep the default setting [IDE].

•  If you want to create RAID sets with the PROMISE

®

 RAID utility from the 

Serial ATA hard disk drives, set this item to [RAID].

•  If you want the Serial ATA hard disk drives to use the Advanced Host 

Controller Interface (AHCI), set this item to [AHCI]. The AHCI allows 

the onboard storage driver to enable advanced Serial ATA features that 

increases storage performance on random workloads by allowing the drive 

to internally optimize the order of commands.

•  When this item is set [AHCI], the information of the SATA connectors 1–6 

can be seen only under the OS environment or during POST.

SATA Port5 - Port6 [IDE]

Setting this item to [IDE] instead of [RAID] or [AHCI] allows the system to 

recognize the optical dirves connected to the SATA connectors 5 or 6 when 

installing OS.

If you use a SATA optical drive to run the OS installation disk, we strongly 

recommend that you install the optical dirve to the SATA connectors 5/6 and set 

them to [IDE] mode.

This menu gives you an overview of the general system specifications. The BIOS 

automatically detects the items in this menu.
