No, that means you're setting those ports to "IDE" / "Legacy" /
"Compatibility" mode.
There might be another option labelled "RAID", activating the
software/pseudo-RAID firmware in the motherboard's BIOS, but you'll
want to select "AHCI". It's what everybody not running the latest
PCIe/M.2 NVMe SSD cards should be using.
Also, run 'lsmod | grep ahci' on your old server; in case it's loaded
you'll have the least trouble switching mainboards because it's the
most compatible standard.
