Chapter 2:BIOS Configuration
Auto
Set this value to allow the BIOS to auto detect the DMA mode. Use this value if the IDE disk drive support
cannot be determined. This is the default setting.
SWDMA0
Set this value to allow the BIOS to use Single Word DMA mode 0. It has a data transfer rate of 2.1 MBs.
SWDMA1
Set this value to allow the BIOS to use Single Word DMA mode 1. It has a data transfer rate of 4.2 MBs.
SWDMA2
Set this value to allow the BIOS to use Single Word DMA mode 2. It has a data transfer rate of 8.3 MBs.
MWDMA0
Set this value to allow the BIOS to use Multi Word DMA mode 0. It has a data transfer rate of 4.2 MBs.
MWDMA1
Set this value to allow the BIOS to use Multi Word DMA mode 1. It has a data transfer rate of 13.3 MBs.
MWDMA2
Set this value to allow the BIOS to use Multi Word DMA mode 2. It has a data transfer rate of 16.6 MBs.
UDMA0
Set this value to allow the BIOS to use Ultra DMA mode 0. It has a data transfer rate of 16.6 MBs. It has the
same transfer rate as PIO mode 4 and Multi Word DMA mode 2.
UDMA1
Set this value to allow the BIOS to use Ultra DMA mode 1. It has a data transfer rate of 25 MBs.
UDMA2
Set this value to allow the BIOS to use Ultra DMA mode 2. It has a data transfer rate of 33.3 MBs.
UDMA3
Set this value to allow the BIOS to use Ultra DMA mode 3. It has a data transfer rate of 44.4 MBs. To use this
mode, it is required that an 80-conductor ATA cable is used.
UDMA4
Set this value to allow the BIOS to use Ultra DMA mode 4. It has a data transfer rate of 66.6 MBs. To use this
mode, it is required that an 80-conductor ATA cable is used.
UDMA5
Set this value to allow the BIOS to use Ultra DMA mode 5. It has a data transfer rate of 99.9 MBs. To use this
mode, it is required that an 80-conductor ATA cable is used.
S.M.A.R.T. for Hard disk drives
Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) feature can help predict impending drive failures.
The Optimal and Fail-Safe default setting is
Auto
.
Auto
Set this value to allow the BIOS to auto detect hard disk drive support. Use this setting if the IDE disk drive
support cannot be determined. This is the default setting.
Disabled
Set this value to prevent the BIOS from using the SMART feature.
Enabled
Set this value to allow the BIOS to use the SMART feature on support hard disk drives.
32Bit Data Transfer
This option sets the 32-bit data transfer option. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default setting is
Enabled
.
Disabled
Set this value to prevent the BIOS from using 32-bit data transfers.
Enabled
Set this value to allow the BIOS to use 32-bit data transfers on support hard disk drives. This is the default
setting.
ARMD Emulation Type
ATAPI Removable Media Device (ARMD) is a device that uses removable media, such as the LS120, MO
(Magneto-Optical), or Iomega Zip drives. If you want to boot up from media on an ARMD, it is required that you
emulate boot up from a floppy or hard disk drive. This is especially necessary when trying to boot to DOS. You can
select the type of emulation used if you are booting from such a device. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default setting is
Auto
.
Auto
Set this value to allow the BIOS to automatically set the emulation used by ARMD. This is the default setting.
Floppy
Set this value for ARMD to emulate a floppy drive during boot up.
Hard disk
drive Set this value for ARMD to emulate a hard disk drive during boot up.
FLOPPY CONFIGURATION SCREEN
Floppy Configuration Settings
You can use this screen to specify options for the Floppy Configuration Settings. Use the up and down <Arrow>
keys to select an item. Use the <Plus> and <Minus> keys to change the value of the selected option.
Floppy Drive A: and B:
Move the cursor to these fields via up and down <arrow> keys. Select the floppy type. The Optimal setting for
floppy drive A: is
1.44 MB 3½”.
The Fail-Safe setting for floppy drive A: is
1.44 MB 3½”.
The Optimal setting for
floppy drive B: is
Disabled.
The Fail- Safe setting for floppy drive B: is
Disabled
.
Disabled
Set this value to prevent the use of the selected floppy disk drive channel. This option should be set if no
floppy disk drive is installed on the specified channel. This is the default setting for
Floppy Drive B
.
360 KB 5 ¼ ”
Set this value if the floppy disk drive attached to the corresponding channel is a 360 KB 5¼ “ floppy
disk drive.
1.2 MB 5 ¼ ”
Set this value if the floppy disk drive attached to the corresponding channel is a 1.2 MB 5¼ “ floppy disk
drive.
