IDE Devices (None)

Your computer has two IDE channels (Primary and Secondary) and each channel can
be installed with one or two devices (Master and Slave). Use these items to configure
each device on the IDE channel.

This motherboard features two SATA connectors supporting two SATA drives.
SATA refers to Serial ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment), the standard
interface for the IDE hard drives which are currently used in most PCs.

Press <Enter> to display the IDE submenu:

LBA drive.

IDE Channel 1/2 Master/Slave/ IDE Drive(Auto)

Leave this item at Auto to enable the system to automatically detect and configure
IDE devices on the channel. If it fails to find a device, change the value to Manual and
then manually configure the drive by entering the characteristics of the drive in the
