IDE Devices (None)
Your computer has two IDE channels (Primary and Secondary)
and each channel can be installed with one or two devices (Master
and Slave). Use these items to configure each device on the IDE
channel. Here are these sub-items:
IDE HDD Auto-Detection
Press <Enter> while this item is highlighted to prompt the Setup
Utility to automatically detect and configure an IDE device on the
IDE channel.
Note:
If you are setting up a new hard disk drive that supports LBA
mode, more than one line will appear in the parameter box.
Choose the line that lists LBA for an LBA drive.
IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave (Auto)
Leave this item at Auto to enable the system to automatically
detect and configure IDE devices on the channel. If it fails to find a
device, change the value to Manual and then manually configure
the drive by entering the characteristics of the drive in the items
described below.
Refer to your drive's documentation or look on the drive casing if
you need to obtain this information. If no device is installed,
change the value to None.
Note:
Before attempting to configure a hard disk drive, ensure that
you have the configuration information supplied by the
manufacturer of your hard drive. Incorrect settings can result in
your system not recognizing the installed hard disk.
Access Mode
This item defines ways that can be used to access IDE hard disks
such as LBA (Large Block Addressing). Leave this value at Auto
and the system will automatically decide the fastest way to access
the hard disk drive.
Press <Esc> to return to the Standard CMOS Features screen.
Drive A/Drive B (1.44M, 3.5 in./None)
These items define the characteristics of any diskette drive attached
to the system. You can connect one or two diskette drives.
