Storage / Device Configuration
Lists installed SATA storage devices and provides specific information about each device: 
- Hard Disk - Provides information about the hard disk drives. 
- CD-ROM - Provides information about the optical disk drives. 
- Default Values - Resets devices to their default configuration (SATA is the default).
-- Translation Mode [see note 2] - Enables the BIOS to determine the translation mode used to configure a formatted SATA or USB mass storage device. This prevents you from needing to know how the mass storage device was formatted. Options are Automatic (default), Bit Shift, LBA Assisted, User (Cylinders, Heads, Sectors), and Off.
Ordinarily, you should not change the translation mode selected by the BIOS. If the selected translation mode is not compatible with the translation mode that was active when the drive was partitioned and formatted, the data on the disk becomes inaccessible.

Storage / Storage Options
Provides these options:
- Removable Media Boot (Enabled/Disabled) - Enabling allows the workstation to boot from removable media, such as a USB flash drive.
- SATA Emulation - Sets the SATA emulation mode with the following options: 
-- RAID + AHCI - both the RAID and AHCI OPROMs execute. This emulation mode is
the default and offers the best performance and most functionality.
-- IDE - offers standard SATA support. Some higher-numbered SATA ports may not be available in this mode.
- eSATA Port - Displays the internal SATA port(s) that are configured to operate as eSATA. Changing this to None provisions the port(s) as internal SATA.
- Max eSATA Speed - Configures eSATA port speeds: 
-- Gen 2 (3.0 Gbps)
-- Gen 1 (1.5 Gbps)

Storage / DPS Self-test
Select a drive - Lets you execute self-tests on SATA hard drives capable of performing Drive Protection System (DPS) self-tests.
NOTE: This selection appears only when the system has one or more drives capable of performing the DPS self-tests.

Storage / Boot Order
Lets you configure the boot order by physically reordering the menu entries. The default boot order is:
- EFI Boot Sources
-- USB Floppy/CD
-- USB Hard Drive
-- ATAPI CD/DVD Drive
- Legacy Boot Sources 
-- ATAPI CD/DVD Drive
-- USB Floppy/CD
-- Hard Drive
-- Network Controller - [This option is no longer present in the menu since I disabled the network boot option.]
You can take the following actions:
- Press Enter to drag a device with the arrow keys to a preferred place, then press Enter again to drop the device in place.
- Press F5 to remove the device from consideration as a bootable device. 
- You must confirm changes by selecting File\>Save Changes and Exit and then press Enter. The computer then stores boot order changes in the physical ROM. 
To temporarily override the boot order and boot from a device other than the default device specified in Boot Order:
1.	Restart the computer.
2.	Press F9 when the F9=Boot Menu message appears on the screen.
3.	Wait for POST to finish and for the list of bootable devices to display.
4.	Use the arrow keys to select the preferred boot device.
5.	Press Enter. The computer then starts from the selected nondefault device. (This does not change the default boot device.)
