OnChip IDE-1 Controller:
The OnChip 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 affect the settings of four items not available. For example, if you disabled the
OnChip 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. The five 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.
