The BIOS automatically detects the connected IDE devices. There is a separate

sub-menu for each IDE device. Select a device item, then press 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

S.M.A.R.T. monitoring). These values are not user-configurable. These items show

N/A if no IDE device is installed in the system.

Type [Auto]

Selects the type of IDE drive. Setting to [Auto] allows automatic selection of the

appropriate IDE device type. Select [CDROM] if you are specifically configuring a

CD-ROM drive. Select [ARMD] (ATAPI Removable Media Device) if your device is

either a ZIP, LS-120, or MO drive.

Configuration options: [Not Installed] [Auto] [CD/DVD] [ARMD]

mode disabled. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Auto]

transfer from and to the device occurs multiple sectors at a time if the device
