These fields allow you to enable or disable the primary and secondary IDE controller. Select
Disabled if you want to add a different hard drive controller.
IDE Primary and Secondary Master/Slave PIO
PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than have the BIOS issue a series of commands to
affect a transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants
and then let the controller and the CPU perform the complete task by them. Your system supports
five modes, 0 (default) to 4, which primarily differ in timing. When Auto is selected, the BIOS will
select the best available mode after checking your drive.
•
Auto: The BIOS will automatically set the system according to your hard disk drive's timing.
•
Mode 0-4: You can select a mode that matches your hard disk drive's timing.
CAUTION
IDE Primary and Secondary Master/Slave UDMA
These fields allow you to set the Ultra DMA in use. When Auto is selected, the BIOS will select the
best available option after checking your hard drive or CD-ROM.
•
Auto: The BIOS will automatically detect the settings for you.
•
Disabled: The BIOS will not detect these categories.
