ROM PCI/ISA BIOS(2A5LDPA9)

INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS

WARD SOFTWARE, INC.

IDE HDD Block Mode:

The default value is Enabled.

Enabled

Enabled IDE HDD Block Mode. The HDD transfer rate is better than

Disable.

Disabled

Disable IDE HDD Block Mode.

PCI Slot IDE 2nd Channel:

The default value is Enabled.

Enabled

Enable secondary IDE port and BIOS will assign IRQ15 for this port.

Disabled

Disable secondary IDE port and IRQ15 is available for other device.

If you don't use the Onboard IDE connector, then use On-card
(PCI or ISA card) IDE connector. You have to set Onboard Primary
PCI IDE: Disabled and Onboard Secondary PCI IDE: Disabled
from CHIPSET FEATURES SETUP UTILITY.

The Onboard PCI IDE cable should be

equal to or less than

18 inches (45 cm.).

Onboard Primary PCI IDE:

The default value is Enabled.

Enabled

Enable Onboard 1st channel IDE port.

Disabled

Disable Onboard 1st channel IDE port. When use On-card (PCI or ISA

card) IDE connector.

Onboard Secondary PCI IDE:

The default value is Enabled.

Enabled

Enable Onboard 2nd channel IDE port.

Disabled

Disable Onboard 2nd channel IDE port When use On-card (PCI or ISA

card) IDE connector.
