Set this value to allow the OffBoard PCI/ISA IDE Card to be selected. Select
"Auto" to allow the BIOS to automatically select the location of an OffBoard
PCI IDE adapter card. Select "PCI Slot1" only when there is an IDE adapter
card installed in PCI Slot 1. Select "PCI Slot2" only when there is an IDE
adapter card installed in PCI Slot 2. Select "PCI Slot 3" only when there is an
IDE adapter card installed in PCI Slot 3. Select "PCI Slot 4" only if there is an
