2.5 BIOS

Dell recommends flashing the latest BIOS available to the system. This is posted on Dell’s driver

& downloads support web site (

support.dell.com) under the “BIOS” section

Some of the BIOS settings are critical to Operating System performance. These are as follows:

Settings  System Configuration SATA Operation

• Disabled: SATA Controllers are hidden

• ATA = Basic Disk Operation mode, does not require additional storage

driver. Note: eSATA is not functional in this mode

• AHCI = SATA is configured for AHCI mode (Advanced Disk Operation

mode) which offers faster performance, eSATA support, and increased

battery life. This mode requires an additional storage driver provided by

Dell

• IRRT / RAID On = SATA is configured to support IRRT (Intel’s Rapid

Recovery Technology). This mode supports AHCI mode features as well

as disk mirroring (RAID-1). IRRT allows data backup and restoration. This

mode requires an additional storage driver provided by Dell

• RAID = SATA is configured to support RAID. This mode supports AHCI

mode features as well as disk mirroring (RAID-1). RAID allows data

backup and restoration. This mode requires an additional storage driver

provided by Dell

• Notes:

o RAID support requires second hard disk drive.

- If AHCI, IRRT, RAID On, or RAID modes are selected, Intel’s Matrix Storage Manager /

Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver must be installed in conjunction with the

installation of the Operating System. See section “2.6.4 Intel Storage” of this document
