3-7 Integrated Peripherals
A. On Board IDE Control
IDE HDD Block Mode
Specifies the maximum number of sectors that can be transferred at a time.
On-chip Primary/Secondary PCI IDE
You can set this to disable the On-chip IDE controller if you are going to add
a higher performance IDE board.
IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO
The four IDE PIO (programmed Input/Output) fields let you set a PIO mode (0-
4) for each IDE device that the internal PCI IDE interface supports. Modes 0
through 4 provide successively increased performance. In Auto mode, the system
automatically determines the best mode for each device.
B. COM2 Mode
When this function is Enabled, then the COM port will be redirected to support
IR function.
