Slave PIO These four IDE PIO (Programmed
Input/Output) fields let you set the
PIO mode for each of the four IDE
devices supported by the onboard
IDE interface. The PIO mode speci-
fies the data transfer rate of the
hard disk. For example: mode 0
data transfer rate is 3.3 MB/s,
mode 1 is 5.2 MB/s, mode 2 is 8.3
MB/s, mode 3 is 11.1 MB/s and
mode 4 is 16.6 MB/s.
Setting these items to Auto acti-
vates the hard disk speed auto-
detect function. If your hard disk
performance becomes unstable,
you may manually set the system
to a slower mode.
Caution: It is recommended that
you connect the first IDE device of
each channel to the endmost con-
nector of the IDE cable.
