Block mode is also called block transfer, multiple commands, or
multiple sector read/write. If your IDE hard drive supports block
mode (most new drives do), select Enabled for automatic
detection of the optimal number of block read/writes per sector the
drive can support.
You may separately disable the second channel on an IDE
interface installed in a PCI expansion slot.
The integrated peripheral controller contains an IDE interface with
support for two IDE channels. Select Enabled to activate each
channel separately.
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 interface supports. Modes 0 through 4 provide successively
increased performance and speed. In Auto mode, the system
automatically determines the best mode for each device. If you
select a mode that the drive does not support, it may not work, so
choose a lesser value or Auto to see the best mode for the drive.
Select Enabled, if your system contains an Universal Serial Bus
(USB) controller and you have USB peripherals. This chipset
supports USB keyboards.
Select Enabled if your system has a floppy disk controller (FDC)
installed on the system board and you wish to use it. If you install
an add-in FDC or the system has no floppy drive, select Disabled
in this field.
Select a COM port address and IRQ# for the first and second
serial ports.
Select the operation mode for Serial Port 2.
Selects the communication port for VT100 mode: Serial Port 1 or
2.
This option only appears when IrDA or ASK-IR are selected in the
UART2 Mode option. Half Duplex allows one communication at a
time, while full duplex allows simultaneous communication.
This option only appears when IrDA or ASK-IR are selected in the
UART2 Mode option. Determines whether the transmit signal
(TxD) and the receive signal (RxD) are active high (Hi) or active
low (Lo).
Select a LPT address and IRQ# for the physical parallel (printer)
port.
Select an operating mode for the onboard parallel port. Select
ECP or EPP unless you are certain both your hardware and
software does not support ECP or EPP mode.
Select a DMA channel for the port.
Enables/disables the onboard Ethernet controller.
