IDE Devices (None)
Your computer has two IDE channels (Primary and Secondary) and each
channel can be installed with one or two devices (Master and Slave). Use
these items to configure each device on the IDE channel.
Press <Enter> to display the IDE submenu:
IDE HDD Auto-Detection
Press <Enter> while this item is highlighted to prompt the Setup Utility to
automatically detect and configure an IDE device on the IDE channel.
Note:
If you are setting up a new hard disk drive that supports LBA mode, more
than one line will appear in the parameter box. Choose the line that lists
LBA for an LBA drive.
IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave (Auto)
Leave this item at Auto to enable the system to automatically detect and configure
IDE devices on the channel. If it fails to find a device, change the value to Manual
and then manually configure the drive by entering the characteristics of the drive in
the items described below.
Refer to your drive's documentation or look on the drive casing if you need to ob-
tain this information. If no device is installed, change the value to None.
Note:
Before attempting to configure a hard disk drive, ensure that you have the
configuration information supplied by the manufacturer of your hard
drive. Incorrect settings can result in your system not recognizing the in-
stalled hard disk.
Access Mode
This item defines ways that can be used to access IDE hard disks such as
LBA (Large Block Addressing). Leave this value at Auto and the system will
automatically decide the fastest way to access the hard disk drive.
Press <Esc> to return to the Standard CMOS Setup screen.
