2.3.4 Primary and Secondary IDE Master/Slave

While entering Setup, BIOS auto-detects the presence of IDE devices. There

is a separate sub-menu for each IDE device. Select a device item then press

<Enter> to display the IDE 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 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] [ARMD]

LBA/Large Mode [Auto]

Enables or disables the LBA mode. Setting to Auto enables the LBA

mode if the device supports this mode, and if the device was not

previously formatted with LBA mode disabled. Configuration options:

[Disabled] [Auto]

Block (Multi-sector Transfer) [Auto]

Enables or disables data multi-sectors transfers. When set to Auto, the

data transfer from and to the device occurs multiple sectors at a time if

the device supports multi-sector transfer feature. When set to Disabled,

the data transfer from and to the device occurs one sector at a time.
