On-ChipPrimary PCI IDE and On-Chip Secondary PCI IDE
These fields allow you to enable or disable the primary and secondary IDE controller. The
default is Enabled. Select Disabled if you want to add a different hard drive controller.
IDE PrimaryMaster/Slave PIO and IDE Secondary Master PIO
PIO means Programmed Input/Output. 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.
IDE Primary Master/Slave UDMA and IDE Secondary Master UDMA
These fields allow you to set the Ultra DMA in use. When Auto is selected, the BIOS will
select the best available option after checking your hard drive or CD-ROM.
Auto
The BIOS will automatically detect the settings for you.
Disabled
The BIOS will not detect these categories.
IDE HDD Block Mode
Enabled
The IDE HDD uses the block mode. The system BIOS will check the hard disk
drive for the maximum block size the system can transfer. The block size will
depend on the type of hard disk drive.
Disabled
The IDE HDD uses the standard mode.
