Onboard Primary PCI IDE and Onboard Secondary PCI IDE
These categories allow you to enable or disable the primary and
secondary IDE controller. The default is Enabled. Select Disabled if you
want to add a different hard drive controller.
IDE Prefetch Mode
This allows data and addresses to be stored in the internal buffer of
the chip, thus reducing access time. Enable this field to achieve better
performance.
IDE HDD Block Mode
Enabled
The IDE HDD uses the block mode. The system BIOS
will check the hard disk drive for the maximum block size
the system can transfer. The block size will depend on the
type of hard disk drive.
Disabled
The IDE HDD uses the standard mode.
IDE Primary Master/Slave PIO and IDE Secondary Master/Slave PIO
PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than have the BIOS
issue a series of commands to effect a transfer to or from the disk
drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and
