Storage Options eSATA Port (some models)
Allows you to set a SATA port as an eSATA port for use with an external drive. Default is enabled.
This setting affects only the port with the black connector, labeled as eSATA on the system board.
This port should have the eSATA back panel connector attached to use eSATA drives. For more
information, see the eSATA white paper at
SATA Emulation
Allows you to choose how the SATA controller and devices are accessed by the operating
system. There are three supported options: IDE, RAID, and AHCI (default).
IDE - This is the most backwards-compatible setting of the three options. Operating systems
usually do not require additional driver support in IDE mode.
RAID - Allows DOS and boot access to RAID volumes. Use this mode with the RAID device driver
loaded in the operating system to take advantage of RAID features.
AHCI (default option) - Allows operating systems with AHCI device drivers loaded to take
advantage of more advanced features of the SATA controller.
NOTE: The RAID/AHCI device driver must be installed prior to attempting to boot from a RAID/
AHCI volume. If you attempt to boot from a RAID/AHCI volume without the required device driver
installed, the system will crash (blue screen). RAID volumes may become corrupted if they are
booted to after disabling RAID.
NOTE: RAID is not available on USDT systems.

Removable Media Boot
Enables/disables ability to boot the system from removable media. Default is enabled.
Max eSATA Speed (some models)
Allows you to choose 1.5 Gbps or 3.0 Gpbs as the maximum eSATA speed. By default, the speed
is limited to 1.5 Gbps for maximum reliability.
CAUTION: Consult your eSATA drive and cable manufacturer before enabling 3.0 Gpbs speed.
Some drive and cable combinations may not run reliably at 3.0 Gpbs.
NOTE: eSATA is not available on USDT systems.

Management Engine (ME) such as Active Management Technology (AMT). If set to disable,
the Management Engine is set to a temporarily disabled state and will not provide functions
beyond necessary system configuration. Default is enabled.
● Unconfigure AMT/ME (enable/disable). Allows you to unconfigure any provisioned
management settings for AMT. The AMT settings are restored to factory defaults. This
feature should be used with caution as AMT will not be able to provide any set AMT
management functions once unconfigured. Default is disabled.
Watchdog Timer (enable/disable). Allows you to set amount of time for a operating system
●
and BIOS watchdog alert to be sent if the timers are not deactivated. BIOS watchdog is
deactivated by BIOS and would indicate that a halt occurred during execution if the alert is
sent to the management console. An operating system alert is deactivated by the operating
system image and would indicate that a hang occurred during its initialization. Default is
enabled.
