please remember to re-adjust the setting here if you want to use serial ATA hard
disk later.
Auto: This is factory default setting on this motherboard. Basically, if your system
functions properly, it is unnecessary to change it. The system will automatically
recognize the first hard disk on IDE1 as first boot device.
Note: Please be informed that when you are using Windows98/ME with
the capacity of all six hard disks being installed, the Auto mode will not
function properly. It is because Windows98/Me is not able to energize
Enhanced Mode to detect all hard disks.
Combined Mode: If you have traditional IDE hard disks and serial ATA hard disks
installed at the same time, then you can choose this mode. Under this mode, you
can randomly choose either IDE hard disks or serial ATA had disk as your first boot
device. But please note, serial ATA will exist with IDE in a mapping way, which
means it will occupy one of the IDE Channel and leave you one IDE Channel only.
Enhanced Mode: If you are using the latest operating system (say, Windows XP,
Windows.NET Server), it is highly recommended that you select Enhanced Mode.
Under this mode the system will detect all six devices (traditional IDE x 4, Serial
ATA x 2) completely and function perfectly. But please note that traditional IDE is
set to first boot device under this mode.
Note: According to practical lab tests of us, there are no obvious
problems or mistakes happened when we set this mode under
Windows2000 operating system; however, it is not recommended by
Intel.
SATA Only: You may select this mode if you install serial ATA hard disks only.
This mode also allows you to select booting sequence from Port0 (SerialATA1) or
Port1 (SerialATA2).
If you desire to change the default setting,
press Enter for selection list:
Disabled: You can choose this item if
there are only traditional IDE hard disks
had been installed on your system.
Disabling this item will also cancel the
detection of serial ATA hard disks during
POST, which will theoretically speed up
your boot-up time a little bit; however,
