Access the submenu for each of the settings above to make changes to the following:
Option ROM Scan
When enabled, this setting will initialize the device expansion ROM. The options are Enabled and
Disabled.
Enable Master
This setting enables you to enable the selected device as the PCI bus master. The options are
Enabled and Disabled.
Latency Timer
This setting enables you to set the clock rate for Bus Master. A high-priority, high throughout
device may benefit from a greater clock rate. The options are Default, 0020h, 0040h, 0060h,
0080h, 00A0h, 00C0h, and 00E0h. For Unix, Novell and other Operating Systems, please select
the option: other. If a drive fails after the installation of a new software, you might want to change
this setting and try again. A different OS requires a different Bus Master clock rate.
This setting determines how large a hard drive is to be accessed. The options are DOS or Other
(for Unix, Novell NetWare, and other operating systems).
