Feature Guide
Other IDE Devices
Enhanced IDE allows the use of IDE devices other than hard
disks. Two devices such devices are Tape Backup and CD-ROM
drives. To use ГОЕ devices other than hard disks with this mainboard
you may need to install a device driver in your system software con­
figuration. Under Windows 95, you may only need to use the stan­
dard procedure to add a device to the system. Refer to the documen­
tation that comes with any device you will install for instructions
about this and any other installation requirements.
Faster Data Transfer
Enhanced IDE includes a scheme to support a significant increase
in the rate of data transfer from the ГОЕ device to the rest of the sys­
tem compared to the previous standard. One aspect of this scheme
is support for fast PIO timing modes. If you use both the on-board
controller and hard disks that support fast timing, you can increase
the data transfer rate significantly.
Power Conservation
This mainboard incorporates the power conservation technology,
which you can set up in the BIOS Setup Utility, where the Power
Management Setup section controls the board's power management
scheme. The power management features include hard disk and
video controls. For more information see the section on Power Man­
agement Setup in Chapter 3.
Audio Features
This mainboard includes full 16-bit sound card capabilities and
comes with a suite of Windows audio utilities. Refer to the documen­
tation that comes with the software for further information.
