Onboard IDE Device
Options are in its sub-menu.
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu of detailed options.
Internal PCI/IDE
This chipset contains and internal PCI IDE interface with support for two
IDE channels.
Ø The choice: Disabled, Primary, Secondary, or Both.
IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO
The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) fields let you set a PIO
mode (0-4) for each of the four IDE devices that the onboard IDE inter-
face supports. Modes 0 through 4 provide successively increased
performance. In Auto mode, the system automatically determines the
best mode for each device.
Ø The choice: Auto, Mode 0, Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3, or Mode 4.
Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UltraDMA
Ultra DMA/100 implementation is possible only if your IDE hard drive
supports it and the operating environment includes a DMA driver
(Windows 95 OSR2 or a third-party IDE bus master driver). If both of
your hard drive and your system software support Ultra DMA/133/100,
select Auto to enable BIOS support.
Ø The choice: Auto or Disabled.
IDE Burst Mode
Selecting Enabled reduces latency between each drive read/write cycle,
but may cause instability in IDE subsystems that cannot support such
fast performance. If you are getting disk drive errors, try setting this value
to Disabled. This field does not appear when the lnternal PCI/IDE field,
above, is Disabled.
Ø The choice: Enabled or Disabled.
