MODE :
The BIOS on the mainboard is the updated one and which provides three different
modes to support both normal IDE HDD and the one which is above 528MB:
NORMAL : For IDE hard disk drives which is smaller than 528MB.
LBA
: For IDE hard disk drive which is above 528MB (ideally, it can be as big
as 8.4GB ) that use Logic Block Addressing (LBA) mode.
Large
: For IDE HDD which is above 528MB and does not support LBA mode.
Note : “large mode” may not be fully supported by all operation systems. It is suggested
to be used with the MS-DOS, such HDD is not popular nowadays.
Auto
: This mode will auto-detect your IDE driver during boot-up.
(
Note
:
Some certain operation systems (such as SCO®-UNIX™ ), only "NORMAL
mode" is allowed when installation.)
Floppy 3 Mode Support:
(Default setting: disabled )
This mode is for the Japanese 3.5 inch floppy disk drive. If you have such drive
installed in your PC system, please select enable, otherwise, use the default setting.
