Chapter 4: BIOS setup

4.3.5 Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Fourth, Fifth,

and Sixth IDE Master/Slave

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]

LBA/Large Mode [Auto]

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

formatted with LBA mode disabled. Configuration options: [Disabled]

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

the device supports multi-sector transfer feature. When set to [Disabled],

the data transfer from and to the device occurs one sector at a time.
