On-Chip IDE Channel 0/1 (Enabled)
Use these items to enable or disable the PCI IDE channels that are
integrated on the mainboard.
IDE Prefetch Mode (Enabled)
The onboard IDE drive interfaces supports IDE prefetching, for faster
drive access. If you install a primary and secondary add-in IDE
interface, set this field to Disabled if the interface does not support
prefetching.
IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO (Auto)
Each IDE channel supports a master device and a slave device. These
four items let you assign which kind of PIO (Programmed
Input/Output) is used by IDE devices. Choose Auto to let the system
auto detect which PIO mode is best, or select a PIO mode from 0-4.
IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA (Auto)
Each IDE channel supports a master device and a slave device. This
mainboard supports UltraDMA technology, which provides faster
access to IDE devices.
If you install a device that supports UltraDMA, change the appropriate
item on this list to Auto. You may have to install the UltraDMA driver
supplied with this mainboard in order to use an UltraDMA device.
IDE HDD Block Mode (Enabled)
Enable this field if your IDE hard drive supports block mode. Block
mode enables BIOS to automatically detect the optimal number of
block read and writes per sector that the drive can support and
improves the speed of access to IDE devices.
