The type of IDE device installed can be configured using this
option. [Default setting is Auto for auto-detect]
These modules make it possible for the BIOS to take advantage
of the additional space on drives which are larger than 504MB.
This can be auto-detected (when you select Auto for Type), or
you can manually set this mode to Disabled. [Default setting is
Auto]
When set to Auto, the block mode auto-detects the optimal num-
ber of block read/writes per section that the drive supports.
[Default is 0]
Programming input/output is a method of transmitting data
between devices that use the system's CPU as part of the data
path. There are 6 modes: 5 with their own transmission speed
and 1 auto mode. To use modes 3 and 4, you must use an
Enhanced IDE drive. [Default is Auto]
This option secifies the Direct Memory Access mode for the IDE
device. If set to Auto, the BIOS will determine the DMA mode.
[Default is Auto]
This option allows the S.M.A.R.T. protocol to report server sys-
tem information over a network. [Default is Auto]
If set to On, this option allows for the transmission of 32-bits in
parallel (e.g. at the same time). If set to Off, only 16-bits will be
transmitted in parallel. [Default is Enabled]
Specifies the type of emulation used for a non-disk device
attached as the primary master IDE device. If set to Auto, the
BIOS will determine the emulation type. [Default is Auto]
The settings are 360KB 5.25", 1.2MB 5.25", 720KB 3.5", 1.44MB
3.5", or 2.88MB 3.5".
The options are the same as listed for Floppy A. [Default setting
is Disabled]
Sets whether you have a Japanese standard mode floppy
(1.2MB storage on 3.5" drive). [Default is Disabled]
Sets whether or not the drive can be written to. [Default is Dis-
abled]
Sets whether or not the BIOS should check for the drive at
bootup. [Default is Disabled]
