The BIOS supports Dual-Channel PIO and PCI Bus Master IDE ports. Each port supports one master
and one slave hard drive. You can use
<
Enter

or
<

or <PageDown
>
key to change hard drive
type. Incorrect setting may result in boot up error or system hang.
If your hard disk drive is not listed, you can select "Manual" mode to define your own drive manually.
We recommend that you select Type "AUTO" for all drives. The BIOS will auto-detect the hard disk
drive and CD-ROM drive at the POST stage.
If your hard disk drive is a SCSI device, please select "None" for your hard drive setting.
