INTEL OnChip IDE Device

If you highlight the “INTEL OnChip IDE Device” label and then press the enter key, it will
take you to a submenu with the following options:

On-Chip Primary/Secondary PCI IDE

The mainboard chipset contains a PCI IDE interface with support for two IDE channels. Select
“Enabled” to activate the first and/or second IDE interface. Select “Disabled” to deactivate the
interface if you are going to install a primary and/or secondary add-in IDE interface. Options:
Enabled (default), Disabled.

IDE Primary/Secondary/Master/Slave PIO

The IDE PIO (Programmed Input / Output) fields let you set a PIO mode (0-4) for each of the
IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 to 4 will increase performance
incrementally. In Auto mode, the system automatically determines the best mode for each
device. Options: Auto (default), Mode0, Mode1, Mode2, Mode3, Mode4.

IDE Primary / Secondary /Master / Slave UDMA

Ultra DMA/100 functionality can be implemented if it is supported by the IDE hard drives in
your system. As well, your operating environment requires a DMA driver (Windows 95 OSR2
or a third party IDE bus master driver). If your hard drive and your system software both
support Ultra DMA/100, select “Auto” to enable BIOS support. Options: Auto (default),
Disabled.
