On-Chip Secondary PCI IDE
-
Enables or Disables the secondary controller. Situations
where this controller would be disabled are:
a) You are not using any IDE Drives
or
b) You
are using IDE Drives ONLY on the primary controller
or
c) You are using an add-on IDE
controller in a PCI Slot
.

IDE PIO Mode
-
IDE Programmed I/O Mode - This
setting relates to the speed at which the hard drive is
able to transfer data, up to 16.6MB/second for Mode 4
drives. Available settings are
Auto
,
0
,
1
,
2
,
3
, or
4
. As
with the
Type
setting,
Auto
is the preferred choice, in
that the supported PIO Mode is read directly from the
hard drive. Be sure not to use a PIO Mode higher than
what the drive actually supports. This could result in
loss of data.
•
IDE UDMA (Ultra DMA) Mode
-
The Intel 430TX PCIset used for this mainboard
improves the IDE performance by implementing UltraDMA/33 Bus Mastering IDE
which can handle data transfer up to 33 Mbyte/sec. This UDMA technology is
downward compatible with existing ATA-2 IDE. So there is no upgrade required for
current hard drives and cabling. *
Auto is
default.
Onboard FDD Controller
-
Enables or Disables the on-board Floppy Disk Controller.
Onboard Serial Port 1
-
With this option, the on-board Serial Port 1 can be Disabled, or
set to 3F8/IRQ4, 2F8/IRQ3, 3E8/IRQ4 or 2E8/IRQ3. (*
Auto
is Default)
Onboard Serial Port 2
-
With this option, the on-board Serial Port 2 can be Disabled, or
set to 3F8/IRQ4, 2F8/IRQ3, 3E8/IRQ4 or 2E8/IRQ3. (*
Auto
is Default)
InfraRed/COM2 Selected
-
By default, this field is set to UART COM2, which directs the
second serial port UART to support the COM2 serial port. Choosing
SHARP IR
(
ASKIR
)
or
IrDA SIR
(
HPSIR
) will activate the on-board infrared feature and redirect the second
serial port UART to support the infrared module connector on the mainboard.
Onboard Parallel Port
-
With this option, the on-board Parallel Port can be Disabled, or
set to 378/IRQ7 (*Default), 3BC/IRQ7 or 278/IRQ5.
Onboard Parallel Port Mode
-
Sets the operating mode of the parallel port. Options are:
Normal, EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) / Normal, ECP (Extended Capability Port)
and
ECP/EPP (default).
ECP Mode Use DMA
-
Options are 1 and 3. This field is available only when one of the
two following options in
Parallel Port Mode
is selected: ECP or ECP/EPP.
Parallel Port EPP Type
-
Options are 1.7 and 1.9 (default ; IEEE 1284 compliant).
