In the case of the 80486DX2 CPU and upper version, the hard
disk types are 1-39 and User Type. “Type 46" in the above
example is therefore replaced by ”User Type".

As shown in the diagram, there are four basic settings in total:
1. Use the automatic configuration facility in Setup, in which the
parameters are read from the hard disk automatically and entered
accordingly.
2. Alternativ select a disk drive which coincides with a specified type (no. 1
to no. 44 or, in the case of the 80486DX2 CPU, no. 1 to no. 39).
3. Enter a configuration manually using the parameters specified in the
documentation for IDE hard disks.
4. (Only possible with Pentium CPU). Setting the item to “AUTO”, the
BIOS will automatically configure the IDE disk with every bootprocess.
If a ROM disk is installed, only one hard disk can be installed.
This must be entered as number 46. Number 47 cannot be
accessed (80486DX2 and upper version does not have a ROM
disk).
