Hard Disk Drives
This field records the specifications for all non-SCSI hard disk drives installed in your system. The
onboard PCI IDE connectors provide Primary and Secondary channels for connecting up to four
IDE hard disks or other IDE devices. Each channel can support up to two hard disks; the first of
which is the “master” and the second is the “slave”.
Specifications for SCSI hard disks need not be entered here since they operate using device
drivers and are not supported by any of the BIOS. If you install other vendor’s SCSI controller
card, please refer to their respective documentation’s on how to install the required SCSI drivers.
To enter specifications for a hard disk drive, you must select first a “type”. You can select “User”
and specify the specifications yourself manually, or you can select from the provided predefined
drive specifications. To select, simply press the <Page Up> or <Page Down> key to change the
option listed after the drive letter.
