Standard CMOS Setup Screen
The Standard CMOS Setup utility is used to configure the following
features:
Set Date: Month, Day, Year.
Set Time: Hour, Minute, and Second. Use 24 Hour clock format (for
PM numbers, add 12 to the hour, you would enter 4:30 p.m. As 16:30).
Hard Disks:
There are four hard disks listed: “Primary Master”, “Primary Slave”,
“Secondary Master” and “Secondary Slave”. For Each IDE channel, the
first device is the “Master” and the second device is “Slave”.
Hard disk Types from 1 to 45 are standard ones; Type “Auto” is IDE
HDD auto detection; Type “User” is user definable, and Type “None” is
not installed (e.g. SCSI).
There are six categories of information you must enter for a HDD:
“CYLS” (number of cylinders), “HEAD” (number of heads), “PRE-
COMP” (write pre-compensation), “LANDZ” (landing zone), “SEC-
TOR” (number of sectors) and “MODE” (Normal, LBA, LARGE and
AUTO). The hard disk vendor’s or system manufacturer’s documenta-
tion should provide you with the information needed. The “MODE”
option is for IDE hard disk drives only. The “MODE” has four options:
NORMAL, LBA, LARGE and AUTO. Set MODE to NORMAL for
IDE hard disk drives smaller than 528MB. Set MODE to LBA for IDE
