7.7 Integrated Peripherals
This section sets configurations for your hard disk and other integrated
peripherals. The first screen shows three main items for user to select. Once
an item selected, a submenu appears. Details f ollow.
On Chip IDE Device / On Chip Primary / Secondary PCI IDE
The integrated peripheral controller contains an IDE interface with support for two
IDE channels. Select Enabled to activate each channel sepa rately.
On Chip IDE Device /IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO
These fields allow your system hard disk controller to work faster. Rather than have
the BIOS issue a series of commands that transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO
(Programmed Input/Output) allows the BIOS to communicate with the controller and
CPU directly.
The system supports five modes, numbered from 0 (default) to 4, which primarily
differ in timing. When Auto is selected, the BIOS will select the best available mode.
On Chip IDE Device / IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA
These fields allow your system to improve disk I/O throughput to 33Mb/sec with the
Ultra DMA/33 feature. The options are Auto and Disabled.
Onboard Device/ USB Controller
The options for this field are Enab led and Disabled. By default, this field is set to
