While entering Setup, BIOS auto-detects the presence of 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 values opposite the dimmed items (Device, Vendor, Size, LBA Mode,

Block Mode, PIO Mode, Async DMA, Ultra DMA, and SMART monitoring)

are auto-detected by BIOS and 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] [CDROM] [ARMD]
LBA/Large Mode [Auto]
Enables or disables the LBA mode. Setting to Auto enables the LBA

mode if the device supports this mode, and if the device was not

previously formatted with LBA mode disabled.

Configuration options: [Disabled] [Auto]

Enables or disables data multi-sectors transfers. When set to Auto, the

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