Onboard IDE-1 Controller:
The onboard IDE 1 controller can be set as Enabled or Disabled. The default setting is
Enabled. The integrated peripheral controller contains an IDE interface with support for two
IDE channels. If you choose Disabled, it will effect the settings of four items not available.
For example, if you disabled the Onboard IDE-1 Controller, you will also disable the
Master/Slave Drive PIO Mode and Master/Slave Drive Ultra DMA.
Master/Slave Drive PIO Mode:
Six options are available: Auto , Mode 0 , Mode 1 , Mode 2 , Mode 3 , Mode 4 ,
Back to Auto. The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) items let you set a PIO mode
(0-4) for each of the four IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0
through 4 provide successively increased performance. In Auto mode (default setting), the
system automatically determines the best mode for each device.
