BIOS Setup
PIO Mode
Selects the data transfer mode. PIO means Programmed Input/Out-
put. Rather than have the BIOS issue a series of commands to effect
a transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the
controller what it wants and then let the controller and the CPU
perform the complete task by themselves. Your system supports five
modes, 0 (default) to 4, which primarily differ in timing. When Auto is
selected, the BIOS will select the best available mode after checking
your drive.
Auto The BIOS will automatically set the system according
to your hard disk drive’s timing.
Mode 0-4 You can select a mode that matches your hard disk
drive’s timing. Caution: Do not use the wrong setting
or you will have drive errors.
DMA Mode
Selects the DMA mode.
S.M.A.R.T.
The system board supports SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and
Reporting Technology) hard drives. SMART is a reliability prediction
technology for ATA/IDE and SCSI drives. The drive will provide suffi-
cient notice to the system or user to backup data prior to the
drive’s failure. SMART is supported in ATA/33 or later hard drives.
The options are Auto (default), Enabled and Disabled.
32Bit Data Transfer
Enables or disables 32-bit data transfer.
