T3500 Boot Order
How can one adjust which SATA drive boots? I have bootable SATA 0 and SATA 4 and have no way to choose to make SATA 4 boot other than disabling SATA 0 and SATA 1 (which is used for backups) and SATA 3 - (which is also used for backups.)

Hi,
I had similar problem once. I had a boot list of "empty" no name devices, about 10 of them, and some ATA devices.
When I loaded the Bios defaults it went back to normal. Maybe it helps:
1. Go to Bios (F2 on boot), look at SATA Operation mode, it can be AHCI or IDE, remember it.
2. Chose the "Load Defaults" button in the Bios screen (ALL Bios settings will be reset).
3, Goto SATA Operation mode, change it how it was in 1.
4. Look if you can chose you're desired ATA device to boot from (list should be resetted, if not, Safe changes, reboot, and enter Bios again en look again).
5. Save changes and reboot.
Succes!

I determined that I needed to switch to AHCI mode first. In ATA mode, it does not go by individual drives. In RAID or RAID/AHCI, it does. TKS for the solution.
