OnChip IDE-1 Controller:
The OnChip IDE 1 Controller can be set as Enabled or Disabled. The default setting is Enabled . The
integrated peripheral controller contains an IDE interface with support for two IDE channels. If you
choose
Disabled , it will affect the settings of four items not available. For example, if you disabled the
OnChip IDE-1 Controller , you will also disable the Master/Slave Drive PIO Mode and Master/Slave
Drive Ultra DMA .
Master/Slave Drive PIO Mode
Six options are available: Auto Mode 0 Mode 1 Mode 2 Mode 3 Mode 4. The five IDE
PIO (Programmed Input/Output) items let you set a PIO mode (0-4) for each of the four IDE devices that
the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 through 4 provide successively increased performance. In
Auto mode (default setting), the system automatically determines the best mode for each device.
