3.6.1 IDE Funtion Setup

3.6.1.1On-Chip Primary/Secondary PCI IDE Enable/Disable the primary and secondary IDE HDD interface.

3.6.1.2IDE Prim/Secondary Master/Slave PIO/UDMA Mode

Each channel (Primary and Secondary) has both a master and a slave, making four IDE devices possible. Because each IDE device may have a different Mode timing (0, 1, 2, 3, 4), it is necessary for these to be inde- pendent. The default setting “Auto” will allow autodetection to ensure optimal performance.

3.6.1.3 IDE HDD Block Mode

If the IDE hard drive supports block mode, select Enable for automatic detection of the optimal number of block read/write per sector.
