Introduction
The UDMA100 PCI Card is a PCI to IDE/ATA control card. It can control two independent IDE/ATA
channels: primary and secondary. Each channel supports up to two ATA/ATAPI devices. The UDMA100
PCI Card supports up to a 100 MB transfer rate as specified in ATA-100/ATAPI-5.
The UDMA100 PCI Card is the perfect solution to upgrade your Hard Disk Drive (HDD) performance to
100 MB/sec data transfer rate. Also it allows to add 4 further IDE devices in addition to the current on
board IDE controller devices! Any system with a PCI bus interface can simply add the ultra 100 IDE/ATA
interface by adding the UDMA100 PCI Card and loading the driver into the system.
The UDMA100 PCI Card comes complete with drivers for DOS, Windows 95/98/98SE, Windows NT4.0
and Windows 2000. It is also fully operational and compatible with default IDE drivers from Microsoft.

Drivers & Utilities Installation and BIOS Setup Utility
This manual will guide you through the driver installation and provides an overview of the on-board
BIOS Setup Utility which can be used to configure certain options for your UDMA100 PCI Controller. It is
important that the UDMA100 PCI card and operating system are installed correctly before proceeding
further.
How to boot from this controller
If you want to boot your system from this controller, you have to change the settings in the system
BIOS. To enter the BIOS press the “Del” key when the system starts. As a boot device you have to
choose “SCSI boot device” (or similar) in the section of the mainboard BIOS. Read your mainboard
manual for more details.
Ultra IDE BIOS Setup Utility
The menu-driven BIOS Setup Utility for configuring the UDMA100 PCI board. It also includes a low-
level format and erase utility for disk drives.
Running the BIOS Setup
To run the BIOS Setup Utility, turn on or reboot your computer. Press either F1 or F10 when prompted
during the boot routine. When you enter the BIOS Setup Utility, a main menu will be presented with the
following options.
