Primary IDE Master/Slave

While entering Setup, the BIOS automatically 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 BIOS automatically detects the values opposite the dimmed items (Device,

Vendor, Size, LBA Mode, Block Mode, PIO Mode, Async DMA, Ultra DMA, and

SMART monitoring). These values are not user-configurable. These items show

Not Detected 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]
