Setup Utility 2-9
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 disk drive to determine the best setting for optimum
drive performance. The options include:
2 Sectors
4 Sectors
8 Sectors
16 Sectors
Disabled (default).
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 or
disable (default) this option. This option cannot be changed when “Auto” is
selected.
!
CAUTION:
Do not 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!
Transfer Mode
This option specifies 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 (default)
Fast PIO 1
Fast PIO 2
Fast PIO 3
Fast PIO 4
FPIO 3 and Bus Mastering
FPIO 4 and Bus Mastering.
