ATA/IDE Configuration (Compatible)
The ATA/IDE option can be configured as "Disabled", "Compatible (default)" and "Enhanced" in the
BIOS configuration. Windows* 98SE and Windows* Me operating systems do not support Enhanced
mode IDE/Serial ATA resources for more than four devices. If the ATA/IDE option is set to Enhanced
mode, the operating installation will not be able to recognize the drive, and the installation will fail.
Before installing 98SE or Me, the ATA/IDE configuration must be changed from Enhanced to Legacy
mode.

Use this item to set up the primary and secondary sequence of IDE channels and SATA channel. If
set ATA/IDE Configuration to Compatible mode and IDE channels to SATA Pri/PATA Sec, users can
only plug in SATA devices on SATA1 and SATA2; if set ATA/IDE Configuration to Compatible mode and
IDE channels as SATA Sec/PATA Pri, users can only plug in SATA devices on SATA3 and SATA4 or else
SATA devices will not be recognized. If set ATA/IDE Configuration to Enhanced mode, then SATA
devices can be plugged into any SATA connector.
