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 (Capacity,

Cylinder, Head, Sector and Transfer Mode). These values are not user-

configurable. These items show N/A if no IDE device is installed in the system.

PIO Mode [Auto]

[Mode 1] [Mode 2] [Mode 3] [Mode 4]

UDMA Mode [Auto]

Primary IDE Master/Slave [Auto]

Select [Auto] to automatically detect an IDE hard disk drive. If automatic detection

is successful, the BIOS automatically fills in the correct values for the remaining

fields on this sub-menu. If the hard disk was already formatted on a previous

system, the setup BIOS may detect incorrect parameters. Select [Manual] to

manually enter the IDE hard disk drive parameters. If no drive is installed select

[None]. Configuration options: [None] [Auto] [Manual]

Access Mode [Auto]

The default [Auto] allows automatic detection of an IDE hard disk drive.

Select [CHS] for this item if you set the Primary IDE Master/Slave to [Manual].
