IDE HDD Auto Detection
The IDE HDD Auto Detection provides auto
configuration of
the hard drive
installed in the
system.
It
supports LBA, Large, and
Normal modes
.
If
the
system's
hard disk drive has
a capacity of over
528MB and does not
supports LBA
functions
,
you
may
select either
the
LBA mode or
the Large mode. On the
other
User's Manual 4-16
P6FX1-A
hand, if the hard disk drive's
capacity
is
over
528MB but does
support LBA
functions,
you may select the Large mode
in order
to use the
area over
528MB.
a.
The LBA and Large modes will only appear on the screen when
the
installed hard disk drive is specified to support the LBA
mode.
b. In the case when
a
hard disk drive's cylinder specification exceeds
1024,
and does not support the LBA
functions,
only the Large mode
will be displayed on the
screen.
c.
With
a
hard disk drive supportiflg cylinders below 1024, only the
Normal mode
wiN
appear on the screen. The Normal mode will also
be shown on the screen under conditions
a
&
b
above.
d.
Hard disk drives with less than 528MB total capacity must be set to
Normal mode when combined with either old BIOS
versions
or the
Award BIOS
.
.
LBA and Large modes are new specifications which may not be fully
supported by all operating systems. An example of which
is
the current
version of UNIX System (R3.2.4) which is still unable to support the LBA
function.
Therefore, determine the specifications of your hard disk drive
and operating system before selecting the drive's
mode.
After pressing the
<
Enter>
key on this
item of
the main menu,
the
display
screen
will show
