3.2-C. Table of IDE device settings
The following settings are also available in the Standard CMOS Setup screen.
LBA/Large Mode
Type
The type of IDE device installed can be configured using this
option. [Default setting is
Auto
for auto-detect]
Block (Multi-sector Transfer)
These modules make it possible for the BIOS to take advantage
of the additional space on drives which are larger than 504MB.
This can be auto-detected (when you select
Auto
for
Type
), or
you can manually set this mode to Disabled. [Default setting is
Auto
]
When set to Auto, the block mode auto-detects the optimal num-
ber of block read/writes per section that the drive supports.
[Default is
0
]
PIO Mode
Programming input/output is a method of transmitting data
between devices that use the system’s CPU as part of the data
path. There are 6 modes: 5 with their own transmission speed
and 1 auto mode. To use modes 3 and 4, you must use an
Enhanced IDE drive. [Default is
Auto
]
DMA Mode
S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring
Analysis and Reporting Tech-
nology)
This option secifies the Direct Memory Access mode for the IDE
device. If set to Auto, the BIOS will determine the DMA mode.
[Default is

]
This option allows the S.M.A.R.T. protocol to report server sys-
tem information over a network. [Default is
Auto
]
32Bit Data Transfer
If set to On, this option allows for the transmission of 32-bits in
parallel (e.g. at the same time). If set to Off, only 16-bits will be
transmitted in parallel. [Default is
