IDE HDD Block Mode
When enabled, the system executes read/write requests to hard disk in block mode. The options are: Enabled,
Disable
IDE DMA Transfer Access
This BIOS feature allows you to enable or disable DMA (Direct Memory Access) support for all IDE devices.
If you disable this BIOS feature, the BIOS will disable DMA transfers for all IDE drives. They will revert to
PIO mode transfers.
If you enable this BIOS feature, the BIOS will enable DMA transfers for all IDE drives. The proper DMA
mode will be detected at boot-up. If the drive does not support DMA transfers, then it will use PIO mode
instead.
It is highly recommended that you leave this BIOS feature at the default setting of Enabled. If the drive
supports DMA transfers, the proper DMA transfer mode will be enabled for that drive, allowing it to burst
data at anywhere from 33MB/s to 133MB/s (depending on the transfer mode supported).
On-Chip Primary PCI IDE
Use this item to enable or disable the PCI IDE channels that are integrated on the mainboard. The default
setting is Enabled.
IDE Primary Master/Slave PIO
Each IDE channel supports a master device and a slave device. These four items let you assign which kind of
PIO (Programmed Input/Output) is used by IDE devices. Choose Auto to let the system auto detect which PIO
mode is best, or select a PIO mode from 0-4. The default setting is Auto.
Primary Master/Slave UltraDMA
Each IDE channel supports a master device and a slave device. This mainboard supports UltraDMA
technology, which provides faster access to IDE devices. If you install a device that supports UltraDMA,
change the appropriate item on this list to Auto. You may have to install the UltraDMA driver supplied with
this mainboard in order to use an UltraDMA device. The default setting is Auto.
