From this screen, you can configure each of the installed drives
using these options:
IDE Adapter 0 Master
IDE Adapter 0 Slave
IDE Adapter 1 Master
IDE Adapter 1 Slave
The IDE Adapter 0 drives are the master and slave drives
connected to your primary IDE interface. The IDE Adapter 1
drives are connected to the secondary IDE interface. (The
computer detects the master and slave status of the drives
based on the drive’s jumper settings, described in Chapters 5
and 6.)
Individual drive options
Your computer comes with a hard disk auto-sensing feature.
To use it, select one of the drives you have installed from the
Fixed Disk Setup screen. On the screen that appears for that
drive, press
Enter
to select the Autotype Fixed Disk
option. The system detects the type of hard disk drive, fills in
the drive’s parameters, and sets the remaining options on the
screen.
Some older drives may not support the auto-sensing feature.
If the drive parameters displayed on the screen do not match
your drive, you need to define your own drive parameters (see
the next section for instructions). You may also need to set the
remaining options on the screen, as described below.
The Multi-Sector Transfer option sets the number of
sectors per block that the hard disk uses in multiple sector
transfers. The more sector transfers per block, the faster your
hard drive performs. If this option is not automatically
detected, you can select 2, 4, 8, or 16 sectors.
