2-8 Setup Utility
Multi Sector Transfers
This option determines the number of sectors per block for multiple sector
transfers. Like the Cylinders/Heads/Sectors options discussed above, you cannot
access this option if the configuration type is set to “Auto.” If necessary, check
the specification for your hard drive to determine the best setting for optimum
drive performance. The options include:
2 Sectors
4 Sectors
8 Sectors
16 Sectors (default)
Disabled.
LBA Mode Control
This option specifies the IDE translation mode. LBA causes Logical Block
Addressing to be used in place of Cylinders/Heads/Sectors. You can “Enable”
(default) or “Disable” this option. This option cannot be changed when “Auto” is
selected.
WARNING:
Don’t change the translation mode
setting from the option selected when the hard
drive was formatted. Changing the option after
formatting could result in corrupted data!
32 Bit I/O
This option enables (default) or disables 32-bit IDE data transfers between the
processor and the IDE device.
Transfer Mode
This option determines the method for transferring data between the hard drive
and system memory. This option cannot be changed when “Auto” is selected. The
options include:
Standard
Fast PIO 1
Fast PIO 2
Fast PIO 3
Fast PIO 4 (default).
