BIOS Setup
IDE DMA Transfer Access
Setting to [Enabled] will open DMA bus master and execute DMA action in
DOS, which will make the data transferring faster. Settings: [Disabled],
[Enabled].
On-Chip Primary/Secondary PCI IDE
The integrated peripheral controller contains an IDE interface with support
for two IDE channels. Choose [Enabled] to activate each channel separately.
IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO
The four items allow you to set a PIO (Programmed Input/Output) mode for
each of the four IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports.
[Modes 0~4] provide increased performance. In [Auto] mode, BIOS auto-
matically determines the best mode for each IDE device.
IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA
Ultra DMA implementation is possible only if your IDE device supports it
and your operating environment contains a DMA driver. If both your hard
drive and software support Ultra DMA 33 (or higher), select [Auto] to
enable BIOS support.
**On-Chip Serial ATA Setting**
SATA Mode
This setting determines which SATA mode (Serial ATA or RAID) to activate.
Setting options: [IDE], [RAID].
On-Chip Serial ATA
This setting allows you to detemine how the RAID controller on the south
bridge is going to switch to SATA controller. Options: [Manual], [Disabled]
or [Auto]. When set to [Auto], BIOS will automatically swtich RAID to
SATA and vice versa. If [Disabled] is selected, only SATA controller will be
enabled.
