PATA Channel Config | This option specifies the PATA Channel configuration. You may specify either | |
SATA as Primary or SATA as Secondary as options. | ||
Primary/Secondary/ | These submenus are specifying options for each installed Master/Slave drive in | |
Third/Fourth Master/ | the system. Their common options are described below. | |

|
| |
Type | Use thsi option to select the type of device connected to the system. Options | |
include Not Installed, Auto, CD/DVD and ARMD. | ||
| ||
LBA/Large Mode | LBA (Logical Block Addressing) is a method of addressing data on a disk drive. | |
The options are Disabled and Auto. | ||
| ||
|
| |
| Block mode boosts IDE drive performance by increasing the amount of data | |
| transferred. Only 512 bytes of data can be transferred per interrupt if block mode | |
Block | is not used. Block mode allows transfers of up to 64 KB per interrupt. | |
Select "Disabled" to allow the data to be transferred from and to the device one | ||
Transfer) | sector at a time. Select "Auto" to allows the data transfer from and to the device | |
| occur multiple sectors at a time if the device supports it. The options are Auto | |
| and Disabled. | |
| PIO (Programmable I/O) mode programs timing cycles between the IDE drive | |
| and the programmable IDE controller. As the PIO mode increases, the cycle time | |
| decreases. | |
| The options are Auto, 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Select Auto to allow BIOS to auto detect | |
| the PIO mode. Use this value if the IDE disk drive support cannot be determined. | |
PIO Mode | Select 0 to allow BIOS to use PIO mode 0, which has a data transfer rate of 3.3 | |
MBs. Select 1 to allow BIOS to use PIO mode 1, which has a data transfer rate of | ||
| 5.2 MBs. Select 2 to allow BIOS to use PIO mode 2, which has a data transfer | |
| rate of 8.3 MBs. Select 3 to allow BIOS to use PIO mode 3, which has a data | |
| transfer rate of 11.1 MBs. Select 4 to allow BIOS to use PIO mode 4, which has a | |
| data transfer rate of 16.6 MBs. This setting generally works with all hard disk | |
| drives manufactured after 1999. For other disk drives, such as IDE | |
| drives, check the specifications of the drive. |
