PIO Mode
PIO (Programmable I/O) mode programs timing cycles between the IDE drive
and the programmable IDE controller. As the PIO mode increases, the cycle
time decreases. The options are Auto, 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Select Auto to allow
AMI BIOS to auto detect the PIO mode. Use this value if the IDE disk drive
support cannot be determined. Select 0 to allow AMI BIOS to use PIO mode
0. It has a data transfer rate of 3.3 MBs. Select 1 to allow AMI BIOS to use
PIO mode 1. It has a data transfer rate of 5.2 MBs. Select 2 to allow AMI
BIOS to use PIO mode 2. It has a data transfer rate of 8.3 MBs. Select 3 to
allow AMI BIOS to use PIO mode 3. It has a data transfer rate of 11.1 MBs.
Select 4 to allow AMI BIOS to use PIO mode 4. It has a data transfer rate of
16.6 MBs. This setting generally works with all hard disk drives manufactured
after 1999. For other disk drives, such as IDE CD-ROM drives, check the
specifi cations of the drive.
