IDE Device Configuration: To have the BIOS autodetect the IDE drive, select Auto. Otherwise, you may choose one of the 46 drive types offered, or enter the parameters yourself (see Entering Drive Parameters on page 42). Consult the table below to see how to configure various drive types yourself.

	Type	How to Configure

		Select Type. Select Not Installed on the drive parameter screen. The
	SCSI	SCSI drivers provided by the SCSI manufacturer should allow you to
		configure the SCSI drive.

		Select Type. Select Auto to let AMIBIOS determine the parameters.
		Click on OK when AMIBIOS displays the drive parameters. Select
		LBA Mode. Select On if the drive has a capacity greater than
		540MB.
		Select Block Mode. Select On to allow block mode data transfers.
	IDE	Select 32-Bit Mode. Select On to allow 32-bit data transfers. Select
		the PIO Mode. It is best to select Auto to allow AMIBIOS to
		determine the PIO mode. If you select a PIO mode that is not
		supported by the IDE drive, the drive will not work properly. If you
		are absolutely certain that you know the drive's PIO mode, select PIO
		mode 0-4, as appropriate.

	CD-ROM	Select Type. Select CDROM. Click on OK when AMIBIOS displays
	CD-ROM	the drive parameters.
		the drive parameters.

		(MFM drives are older IDEs which use an encoding scheme that
	Standard MFM	produces slower data access and less storage room.) Select Type.
	Standard MFM	You must know the drive parameters. Select the drive type that

		exactly matches your drive's parameters.

		Select Type. If the drive parameters do not match the drive
	Non-Standard MFM	parameters listed for drive types 1-46, select User and enter the
		correct hard disk drive parameters.

LBA/Large Mode: These modes make it possible for the BIOS to take advan- tage of the additional space on drives which are larger than 504MB. This can be autodetected (when you select Auto for Type), or you can turn the modes On or Off yourself.

Block Mode: If On, Block Mode automatically detects the optimal number of block read/writes per sector that the drive can support.
