IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave
Select these options to configure the various drives. A screen with a list of drive
parameters appears.
IDE Device Configuration : The BIOS can automatically detect IDE drive, select
Auto. Otherwise, you may select Manual for the drive type, you can enter the charac-
teristics of the drive in the columns marked Capacity, Cylinder, Head, etc.
Here is a brief explanation of drive specification : Acess Mode : [Auto] [CHS] [Large]
[LBA].
[Auto] : The BIOS automatically determines the optional mode.
[CHS] : Match the specifications of your installed IDE hard disk drive(s) with the
preprogrammed values for drive types 1 through 45.
[Large] : For drives that do not support LBA and have more than 1024 cylinders.
[LBA] (Logical Block Addressing) : During drive accesses, the IDE controller
transforms the data address described by sector, head, and cylinder number into
a physical block address, significantly improving data transfer rates. For drives
with greater than 1024 cylinders.
The BIOS supports up to four IDE drives. This section does not show
information about other IDE devices, such as a CD-ROM drive, or
about other hard disk types, such as SCSI drives. We recommend that
you select type Auto for all drives.
