Primary HDDs

The onboard IDE connectors provide Primary channels for connecting up to four IDE hard disks or other IDE
devices. Each channel can support up to two hard disks; the first is the “Master” and the second is the “Slave”.

To enter the specifications for a hard disk drive, you must select first a “Type”. There are 45 predefined types
and 4 user definable types are for Enhanced IDE BIOS. Type 1 to 45 is predefined. Type “User” is user-definable.
For the Primary Master/Slave as well as Secondary Master/Slave, you can select “Auto” under the TYPE and
MODE fields. This will enable auto detection of your IDE drives and CD-ROM drive during POST.

Press / to select a numbered hard disk type or type the number and press the key. The
hard disk will not work properly if you enter incorrect information for this field. If your hard disk drive type is not
matched or listed, you can use Type User to define your own drive type manually. If you select Type User, the
related information has to be entered to the following items.
