Transfer Mode
Selects the mode that the System BIOS uses to access the
hard disk.
You can select one of these:
• Standard
• Fast PIO 4 (default)
• Fast PIO 1
• FPIO 3 / DMA 1
• Fast PIO 2
• FPIO 4 / DMA 2
• Fast PIO 3
Older hard disks only support “Standard”. Newer hard disks
adhering to “Fast ATA” or “Enhanced IDE” specifications
may support the fast programmed I/O or DMA modes.
Note that autotyping may change this value depending on
the transfer modes that the hard disk reports it supports.
The fast DMA modes take full advantage of the onboard
bus mastering hard disk controller and should yield the
highest performance when used in conjunction with
multitasking operating systems that support it.
Note
: This field displays only when the Type field contains a
value of [None].
Ultra DMA Mode
Selects the Ultra DMA Mode that the System BIOS uses to
access the hard disk.
You can select one of these:
• Mode 2 (default)
• Mode 1
• Mode 0
• Disabled
Note
: This field displays only when the Type field contains a
value of [None]. Autotyping derives this value from
information reported by the drive.
