On-Chip Primary/Secondary PCI IDE

You can select to enable the primary IDE channel, secondary IDE channel, both, or disable
both channels.

Primary Master/Slave PIO/UDMA Mode, Secondary Master/Slave PIO/UDMA Mode

Each channel (0 & 1) has both a master and a slave making four IDE devices possible.
Because each IDE device may have a different PIO Mode timing of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, it is
necessary for these to be independent. DMA Mode timing allows 0, 1, or 2. The default
setting of Auto will allow auto-detection to ensure optimal performance.

IDE Prefetch Mode

The onboard IDE drive interfaces supports IDE prefetching for faster drive accesses. If you
install a primary and / or second IDE interface. Select Disabled to deactivate an interface, if
you install a primary and / or secondary add-in IDE interface.

Init Display First

This item allows you to decide to active PCI or AGP Slot first.

POWER ON Function

This field allows you to set POWER ON mode from button only, Hot-Key, PS/2 Mouse
password or keyboard 98 mode.

KBC input clock

This item sets the clock speed for the keyboard controller. Leave this item at the default
value of 8MHz.
