the IDE device information.

The BIOS automatically detects the values opposite the dimmed items (Device, Vendor, Size,

values are not user-configurable. These items show N/A if no IDE device is installed in the

system.

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]
