IDE Control
IDE Auto-detect
There are cases wherein the HDD parameters that you entered and
those detected by the auto-detection function are mismatched. This
causes the system not to boot. If this happens, we recommend that
you set this parameter to
Disabled
to bypass the auto-detection
function. The default setting is
Enabled
.
Block Mode
This function enhances disk performance depending on the hard disk
in use. This parameter is normally set to
Auto
. This setting allows
data transfer in block (multiple sectors) by increasing the data
transfer rate. The other selections for this parameter are 2 S/B, 4
S/B, 8 S/B, 16 S/B, 32 S/B, 64 S/B and Disabled. Disable the
parameter if your hard disk does not support this feature.
Onboard IDE Present
The settings for this function are Auto, Enabled and Disabled. Select
Enabled
if you have an onboard PCI IDE.
Select
Auto
to
automatically detect the presence of PCI IDE. Select
Disabled
to
disregard the PCI IDE function.
PIO Mode
This parameter lets you set the PIO mode that your onboard PCI IDE
supports. The selections are from Mode 0 to Mode 4, Auto and
Disabled.
Set this parameter either by entering the PIO mode
manually or selecting
Auto
to automatically detect the supported
PIO mode. Disable the parameter to bypass the feature.
