item then press to display the IDE device information.

user-configurable. These items show “0/None” if no IDE device is installed

in the system.

in performance. Configuration options: [Auto] [Mode 0] [Mode 1] [Mode 2]

compatible IDE devices. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Auto]

Primary IDE Master [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

parameters. Select [Manual] to manually enter the IDE hard disk drive

parameters. If no drive is installed select [None]. Configuration options:
