BIOS SETUP

•
•
Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO
The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) fields let you set a PIO mode (0-4) for each
of the four IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports. Mode 0 through 4 provide
successively increased performance. In “Auto” mode, the system automatically determines
the best mode for each device.

•
Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA
Ultra DMA/33(66) implementation is possible only if your IDE hard drive can support it and
the operating environment includes a DMA driver (Windows 95 OSR2 or a third-party IDE
bus master driver). If both your hard disk drive and your system software can support Ultra
DMA/33(66), select “Auto” to enable BIOS support.
•
Init Display First
This item allows you to decide whether to activate either the “PCI Slot” or the “AGP first”.

•
IDE HDD Block Mode
Block Mode is also called Block Transfer, Multiple Commands, or Multiple Sector Read/
Write. If your IDE hard drive supports Block Mode (most new drives do), select “Enabled”
for automatic detection of the optimal number of Block Read/Writes per sector that the drive
can support.
•
Onboard FDD Controller
You can use this function to enable or disable the onboard FDD controller.

Onboard Serial Port 1 / Port 2
Select an address and the corresponding interrupt for each of the first and second serial
ports. The Choices are: “Disabled”, “3F8/IRQ4”, “2F8/IRQ3”, “3E8/IRQ4”, “2E8/IRQ3”,
and “Auto”.
The second serial port shares resources (address and IRQ) with IrDA.

UART 2 Mode
Choose the right type of infrared device:
- Standard : Normal operation
- HPSIR : IrDA compliant serial infrared port
- ASKIR : Amplitude Shift Keyed Infrared Port

IR Function Duplex
Consult your IR peripheral documentation to select the setting for IR “Half” / ”Full” duplex
function.
