SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
Storage Device
Configuration Lists all installed non-SCSI storage devices.
SCSI storage drives will not be listed in Computer Setup (F10).
When a device is selected, detailed information and options are displayed. The following options
might be presented:
Hard Disk
Identifies the hard disk drives on the system.
CD-ROM
Identifies the hard disk drives on the system.
Diskette Type (for legacy diskette drives only)
Identifies the highest capacity media type accepted by the diskette drive. Options are 3.5" 1.44
MB, 5.25" 1.2 MB, and Not Installed.
Default Values
Multisector Transfers (IDE disks only)
Specifies how many sectors are transferred per multi-sector PIO operation. Options (subject to
device capabilities) are Disabled, 8, and 16.
Transfer Mode (IDE devices only)
Specifies the active data transfer mode. Options (subject to device capabilities) are PIO 0, Max
PIO, Enhanced DMA, Ultra DMA 0, and Max UDMA.
Translation Mode (IDE disks only)
Lets you select the translation mode to be used for the device. This enables the BIOS to access
disks partitioned and formatted on other systems and may be necessary for users of older
versions of UNIX (for example, SCO UNIX version 3.2). Options are Bit-Shift, LBA Assisted, User,
and None.
CAUTION: A new Automatic option has been added to allow for BIOS to automatically determine
the translation mode used to configure a previously formatted IDE, SATA, or USB mass storage
device. This prevents you from having to know how the mass storage device was previously
formatted.
Ordinarily, the translation mode selected automatically by the BIOS should not be changed. If the
selected translation mode is not compatible with the translation mode that was active when the
disk was partitioned and formatted, the data on the disk will be inaccessible.
Options Removable Media Boot
Enables/disables ability to boot the system from removable media.
Removal Media Diskette Write
Enables/disables ability to write data to removable media.
BIOS DMA Data Transfers
Allows you to enable or disable the BIOS use of DMA for IDE data transfers.
SATA Configuration
Add as separate controller and replace separate controller.
Primary IDE Controller
Enables/disables primary IDE controller.
Secondary IDE Controller
Enables/disables secondary IDE controller.
