SATA Configuration If you??™re using SATA drives, then all your SATA settings should be enabled. But be
careful adjusting these settings after you??™ve installed Windows.
For instance, the AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) subsystem allows Vista to
take advantage of the higher speeds and hot-plug features of SATA hard drives. In
theory, you??™ll want to enable ACPI 2.0 support with Vista, but if you change this setting
after installing Windows, you??™ll get a Blue Screen of Death (INACCESSABLE_
BOOT_DEVICE) the next time you boot. Microsoft offers a solution in KB article
922976, but it doesn??™t work. Instead, you??™ll need to reinstall Windows (see Chapter 1)
if you change this setting.

Serial Port 1/2
Serial Port A/B
The numbers (or letters) have no correlation to the well-known COM1/COM2 designations,
but rather to each of the two physical ports on your motherboard. Set the ports
as follows: ???3F8/IRQ4??? to assign the port to COM1, ???2F8/IRQ3??? for COM2, ???3E8/IRQ4???
for COM3, or ???2E8/IRQ3 to make it COM4. Disable any port you??™re not using so it won??™t
consume any resources you can use for other devices. Make sure the two ports don??™t
conflict with each other, or any other devices in your system (such as your modem).
