While entering Setup, the BIOS automatically detects the presence of IDE devices. There is
a separate submenu for each IDE device. Select a device item then press <Enter> to display
the IDE device information.
The BIOS automatically detects the values opposite the dimmed items (Device, Vendor, Size,
LBA Mode, Block Mode, PIO Mode, Async DMA, Ultra DMA, and SMART monitoring). These
values are not user-configurable. These items show N/A if no IDE device is installed in the
system.
