Primary IDE Master/Slave

SATA1/SATA2

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

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

to display the IDE/SATA 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

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

Type [Auto]

This item appears only when you select the Primary IDE Master/Slave item.

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]

device supports this mode, and if the device was not previously formatted with LBA

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