Highlight one of the items above and press <Enter> to access the submenu for that
item. If a drive is present, information on that drive will be displayed here.
LBA/Large Mode
LBA (Logical Block Addressing) is a method of addressing data on a disk drive.
The options are Disabled and Auto .
Block (Multi-Sector Transfer)
Block mode boosts IDE drive performance by increasing the amount of data
transferred. Only 512 bytes of data can be transferred per interrupt if block mode
is not used. Block mode allows transfers of up to 64 KB per interrupt. Select
"Disabled" to allow the data to be transferred from and to the device one sec-
tor at a time. Select "Auto" to allows the data transfer from and to the device
occur multiple sectors at a time if the device supports it. The options are Auto
and Disabled.
PIO Mode
PIO (Programmable I/O) mode programs timing cycles between the IDE drive
and the programmable IDE controller. As the PIO mode increases, the cycle time
decreases. The options are Auto , 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Select Auto to allow AMI
BIOS to auto detect the PIO mode. Use this value if the IDE disk drive support
cannot be determined. Select 0 to allow AMI BIOS to use PIO mode 0. It has a
data transfer rate of 3.3 MBs. Select 1 to allow AMI BIOS to use PIO mode 1.
It has a data transfer rate of 5.2 MBs. Select 2 to allow AMI BIOS to use PIO
mode 2. It has a data transfer rate of 8.3 MBs. Select 3 to allow AMI BIOS to
use PIO mode 3. It has a data transfer rate of 11.1 MBs. Select 4 to allow AMI
BIOS to use PIO mode 4. It has a data transfer rate of 16.6 MBs. This setting
generally works with all hard disk drives manufactured after 1999. For other disk
drives, such as IDE CD-ROM drives, check the specifi cations of the drive.
DMA Mode
Selects the DMA Mode. Options are SWDMA0, SWDMA1, SWDMA2,
MWDMA0. MDWDMA1, MWDMA2, UDMA0. UDMA1, UDMA2, UDMA3,
UDMA4 and UDMA5. (SWDMA=Single Word DMA, MWDMA=Multi Word DMA,
UDMA=UltraDMA.)
