Setting this item to

activates the HDD speed
auto-detect function. The PIO mode specifies the
data transfer rate of HDD. For example: mode 0
data transfer rate is 3.3MB/s, mode 1 is 5.2MB/s,
mode 2 is 8.3MB/s, mode 3 is 11.1MB/s and mode 4
is 16.6MB/s. If your hard disk performance becomes
unstable, you may manually try the slower mode.
Caution:
It is recommended that you connect
the first IDE device of each channel to the
endmost connector of the IDE cable. Refer to
section "Connectors" for details on how to
connect IDE device(s).
