This allows you to configure your system to the type of IDE disk
controller in use. The more apparent difference is the type of slot
being used.
If you have equipped your system with a PCI controller, changing this
allows you to specify which slot has the controller and which PCI
interrupt (A, B, C, or D) is associated with the connected hard drives.
Remember that this setting refers to the hard disk drive itself, rather
than individual partitions. Since each IDE controller supports two
separate hard drives, you can select the INT# for each. Again, you
will note that the primary has a lower interrupt than the secondary.
Selecting PCI Auto allows the system to automatically determine how
your IDE disk system is configured.
Refer to the above description of PCI IDE IRQ.
