Primary HDDs / Secondary HDDs
The onboard PCI IDE connectors provide Primary and Secondary channels for connecting up to four IDE
hard disks or other IDE devices. Each channel can support up to two hard disks; the first is the “Master”
and the second is the “Slave”.
To enter the specifications for a hard disk drive, you must select first a “Type”. There are 45 predefined
types and 4 user definable types are for Enhanced IDE BIOS. Type 1 to 45 are predefined. Type “User” is
user-definable. For the Primary Master/Slave as well as Secondary Master/Slave, you can select “Auto”
under the TYPE and MODE fields. This will enable auto detection of your IDE drives and CD-ROM
drive during POST.
Press <PgUp>/<PgDn> to select a numbered hard disk type or type the number and press the <Enter>
key. The hard disk will not work properly if you enter incorrect information for this field. If your hard
disk drive type is not matched or listed, you can use Type User to define your own drive type manually. If
you select Type User, related information is asked to be entered to the following items.
