>IDE Configuration
•ATE/IDE Configuration – [Disabled], [Compatible], or [Enhanced]
This field configures the integrated parallel and serial ATA controllers on the XTX 820.
∗If this field is set to [Disabled], both integrated parallel and serial ATA controllers onboard the XTX 820 are prevented from operating and all IDE device fields below Legacy IDE Channels disappear from the screen.
∗If this field is set to [Compatible], both integrated parallel and serial ATA controllers operate in legacy or compatible mode.
∗If this field is set to [Enhanced], both integrated parallel and serial ATA controllers operate in enhanced or native mode and the next field, Legacy IDE Channels, disappears from the screen.
♦Legacy IDE Channels – [SATA Only], [SATA Pri, PATA Sec], or [PATA Only]
This field determines which IDE channels are used to attach the Serial ATA (SATA) and Parallel ATA (PATA or EIDE HDDs) drives in BIOS Setup.
∗If this field is set to [SATA Only], only the SATA (Serial ATA) drives can be attached to the system and recognized by the BIOS.
∗If this field is set to [SATA Pri, PATA Sec], the SATA drives are attached to the Primary IDE channel and the EIDE hard disk drives (PATA) are attached to the Secondary IDE channel.
∗If this field is set to [PATA Only], only the EIDE hard disk drives (PATA) can be attached to the system and recognized by the BIOS.
>Primary IDE Master: – [Not Detected] or [Device Type]
∗If the BIOS does not detect a device on the Primary IDE Master channel, [Not Detected] will be displayed. You can still go to the submenu to set options for an IDE device.
∗If the BIOS auto detects a IDE device, the device will be displayed [Hard Disk for example] with the parameters automatically selected, because auto is used for the defaults.
♦Type – [Not Installed], [Auto], [CD/DVD], or [ARMD]
This field sets the type of device the BIOS attempts to boot from after the Power On Self Test (POST) has completed.
∗If [Not Installed] is selected, the BIOS is prevented from searching for an IDE disk drive on the specified channel.
∗If [Auto] is selected, the BIOS auto detects any IDE disk drives on the specified channel. This is the default setting and should be used for any IDE hard disk drive attached to the baseboard.
∗If [CD/DVD] is selected, the BIOS only searches for an IDE
∗If [ARMD] is selected, the BIOS detects an ATAPI Removable Media Device on the specified IDE channel. This includes, but is not limited to ZIP drives and
♦LBA/Large Mode – [Disabled] or [Auto]
This field sets the LBA (Logical Block Addressing) on the IDE disk drive. In LBA mode with a setting of [Auto], the maximum drive capacity is greater than 137 GB.
♦Block
This field sets the block mode
