BIOS
Setup
! IDE HDD Block Mode
If your IDE hard drive supports block mode select Enabled for automatic detec-
tion of the optimal number of block read/writes per sector the drive can support.
! IDE DMA Transfer Access
Use this field to enable or disable IDE DMA transfer access.
! On-Chip Primary / Secondary IDE Device
IDE Primary Master/Slave PIO/UDMA Mode (Auto). The channel has both a
master and a slave, making four IDE devices possible. Because two IDE
devices may have a different Mode timing (0, 1, 2, 3, 4), it is necessary for these
to be independent. The default setting “Auto” will allow auto detection to ensure
optimal performance.
! SATA Mode
The setting choices for the SATA Mode are IDE, RAID and AHCI Mode. Select
[IDE] if you want to have SATA function as IDE. Select [AHCI] for Advanced
Host Controller Interface (AHCI) feature, with improved SATA performance and
native command queuing. Select [RAID] to use SATA for RAID.
! On-Chip Serial ATA
Choose the status of serial ATA. The default setting is “Auto” which lets the sys-
tem arrange all parallel and serial ATA resources automatically. The “Disabled”
setting disables the SATA controller. The “Combined Mode” combines PATA and
SATA, and maximum of 2 IDE drives in each channel. The “Enhanced Mode”
enables both SATA and PATA, and a maximum of 6 IDE drives are supported.
The “SATA Only” setting means SATA is operating in legacy mode.
! PATA IDE Mode
This item shows the parallel ATA channel. It is Secondary.
! SATA Port
The PATA IDE mode must to be set to Secondary and SATA will display “P0, P2
is Primary". It means SATA0 and SATA2 act as Primary Channel.We have one
configuration with this setting by spec, and can’t swap the channel.
