KM400A Series

IDE Prefetch Mode

The "onboard" IDE drive interfaces supports IDE prefetching for faster drive access. If you install a
primary and/or secondary add-in ID
E interface, set this option to "Disabled" if the interface does not
support prefetching. Options: Enabled (default)、Disabled
Primary/Secondary/Master/Slave PIO
The IDE PIO (Programmed Input / Output) fields let you set a PIO mode (0-4) for each
of the IDE
d
evices that the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 to 4 will increase perform
ance
incrementally. In Auto mode, the sys
tem automatically determines the best mode for each device.
Options: Auto (default)、Mode0、Mod
e1、Mode2、Mode3、Mode4.
P
rimary / Secondary /Master / Slave UDMA
Ultra DMA/133 functionality can be implemented if it is supported by the IDE hard drives in your
system. As well, your operating environment requires a DMA driver (Windows 95 OSR2 or a third
party IDE bus master driver). If your hard drive and your system software both support Ultra
DMA/133, select "Auto" to enable BIOS support.
Options: Auto (default)、Disabled

IDE HDD Block Mode

Block mode is otherwise known as block transfer, multiple commands, or multiple sector read/write.

system will automatically determine the optimal number of blocks to read and write per sector.
Options: Enabled (default)、Disabled
