BIOS Setup - 52 -
Onboard LAN Boot ROM
Allows you to decide whether to activate the boot ROM integrated with the onboard LAN chip.
(Default: Disabled)
Onboard USB 3.0 Controller (NEC USB 3.0 Controller)
Enables or disables the NEC USB 3.0 controller. (Default: Enabled)
Onboard SATA/IDE Device (GIGABYTE SATA2, IDE and GSATA2_5/6 Connectors)
Enables or disables the IDE and SATA controllers integrated in the GIGABYTE SATA2 chip.
(Default: Enabled)
Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode (GIGABYTE SATA2, IDE and GSATA2_5/6 Connectors)
Enables or disables RAID for the SATA controller integrated in the GIGABYTE SATA2 chip or congures
the SATA controller to AHCI mode.
IDE Disables RAID for the SATA controller and congures the SATA controller to IDE
mode. (Default)
AHCI Congures the SATA controller to AHCI mode. Advanced Host Controller Interface
(AHCI) is an interface specication that allows the storage driver to enable advanced
Serial ATA features such as Native Command Queuing and hot plug.
RAID/IDE Enables RAID for the SATA controller; the IDE controller still operates in IDE mode.
Onboard Serial Port 1
Enables or disables the rst serial port and species its base I/O address and corresponding interrupt.
Options are: Auto, 3F8/IRQ4 (default), 2F8/IRQ3, 3E8/IRQ4, 2E8/IRQ3, Disabled.
Start detecting at Port.....
Link Detected --> 100Mbps
Cable Length= 30m
Link Detected Displays transmission speed.
Cable Length Displays the approximate length of the attached LAN cable.
Note: The Gigabit hub will only operate at a speed of 10/100 Mbps in MS-DOS mode; it will operate at a
normal speed of 10/100/1000 Mbps in Windows mode or when the LAN Boot ROM is activated.
When a Cable Problem Occurs...
If a cable problem occurs on a specied pair of wires, the Status eld will show Short and then length
shown will be the approximate distance to the fault or short.
Example:
Part1-2 Status = Short / Length = 2m
Explanation: A fault or short might occur at about 2m on Part 1-2.
Note: Part 4-5 and Part 7-8 are not used in a 10/100 Mbps environment, so their Status elds will show
Open, and the length shown is the approximate length of the attached LAN cable.
When LAN Cable Is Functioning Normally...
If no cable problem is detected on the LAN cable connected to a Gigabit hub or a 10/100 Mbps hub, the
following message will appear:
