76 Chapter 5: BIOS setup
5.3.3 Primary IDE Master/Slave; Serial ATA Master
While entering Setup, BIOS auto-detects the presence of IDE/Serial ATA
devices. There is a separate sub-menu for each IDE/Serial ATA device.
Select a device item then press Enter to display the IDE/Serial ATA device
information.
The values opposite the dimmed items (Device, Vendor, Size, LBA Mode,
Block Mode, PIO Mode, Async DMA, Ultra DMA, and SMART monitoring)
are auto-detected by BIOS and are not user-configurable. These items
show N/A if no IDE/Serial ATA device is installed in the system.
Type [Auto]
Selects the type of IDE drive. Setting to Auto allows automatic
selection of the appropriate IDE device type. Select CDROM if you
are specifically configuring a CD-ROM drive. Select ARMD (ATAPI
Removable Media Device) if your device is either a ZIP, LS-120, or
MO drive. Configuration options: [Not Installed] [Auto] [CDROM]

mode if the device supports this mode, and if the device was not
previously formatted with LBA mode disabled.
