IDE HDD Block Mode

If your IDE hard drive supports block mode select "Enabled" for auto-

matic detection of the optimal number of block read/writes per sector the

drive can support.

2.6.3

Use this field to enable or disable IDE DMA transfer access.

2.6.4

IDE Primary Master/Slave PIO/UDMA Mode (Auto). The channel has

both a master and a slave, making four IDE devices possible. Because

two IDE devices may have a different Mode timing (0, 1, 2, 3, 4), it is

necessary for these to be independent. The default setting "Auto" will

allow auto detection to ensure optimal performance.

2.6.5

The setting choices for the SATA Mode are IDE, RAID and AHCI Mode.

Select [IDE] if you want to have SATA function as IDE. Select [AHCI]

for Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) feature, with improved

SATA performance and native command queuing. Select [RAID] to use

SATA for RAID.

2.6.6

This allows SATA system to support PATA mode. The choices are "Dis-

abled" and "Enabled".
