BIOS Setup

IDE HDD Auto Detection

Detects the parameters of the drive. The parameters will automati-
cally be shown on the screen.

IDE Channel 0 Master/Slave and IDE Channel 1 Master/Slave

The drive type information should be included in the documentation
from your hard disk vendor. If you select ”Auto”, the BIOS will auto-
detect the HDD & CD-ROM drive at the POST stage and show
the IDE for the HDD & CD-ROM drive. If a hard disk has not
been installed, select “None”.

The settings on the screen are for reference only. Your version may not be identical
to this one.

3.1.1.3 IDE Channel 0 Master, IDE Channel 0 Slave, IDE Channel 1

Master and IDE Channel 1 Slave

Move the cursor to the “IDE Channel 0 Master”, “IDE Channel 0
Slave”, “IDE Channel 1 Master” or “IDE Channel 1 Slave” field, then
press <Enter>.

Note:

The fields in this section will vary in accordance to the settings
in “On-Chip Serial ATA Setting” (“OnChip IDE Device” section)
of the Integrated Peripherals submenu.
