hard disk drives over 528MB which support Logical Block Addressing
mode. Set MODE to LARGE for IDE hard disk drives over 528MB
which do not support LBA mode. The LARGE type of drive is very
uncommon and can only be used under MS-DOS. Currently most IDE
hard disk drives over 528MB support LBA mode. Set MODE to AUTO
to enable auto detection of your IDE hard disk drive during bootup.
Floppy Drive A and Floppy Drive B: The options are: “360K, 5.25
in.”, “1.2M, 5.25in.”, “720K, 3.5in.”, “1.44M, 3.5in.”, “2.88M, 3.5in.”
and “None (Not Installed)”. Not Installed could be used as an option for
diskless workstations.
Floppy 3 Mode Support: The options are “Disabled” (default),
“Drive A”, “Drive B” and “Both”. This is the Japanese standard
floppy drive which stores 1.2MB in a 3.5" diskette.
Video: Set it to the type of graphics card installed in your system. If
you are using a VGA or higher resolution card, choose the “EGA/
VGA” option. The options are “EGA/VGA” (default), “MONO”,
“CGA 40" and “CGA 80".
Halt On: The options are “All Errors” (default), “No Errors”, “All,
But Keyboard”, “All, But Diskette” and “All, But Disk/Key”. This
setting determines which type of errors will cause the system to halt
during bootup.
3.4 IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION
If your system has an IDE hard drive, you can use this utility to detect
its parameters and enter them into the Standard CMOS Setup automati-
cally. If the auto-detected parameters displayed do not match the ones
that should be used for your hard drive, do not accept them. Press the
<N> key to reject the values and enter the correct ones manually on the
Standard CMOS Setup screen.
Note: If you are setting up a new hard disk drive (nothing on it) that
supports LBA mode, more than one line will appear in the parameter
box, choose the line that lists LBA for an LBA drive.
Do not choose Large or Normal if the hard disk drive is already fully for-
matted when you install it, choose the mode which is used to format it
