OnChip IDE Device:

Click <Enter> key to enter its submenu:

IDE Bus Master:

This option enables or disables the IDE bus mastering capability under the DOS environment.

OnChip IDE-1 Controller:

This item allows you to enable or disable the primary and secondary IDE controller. Select [Disabled] if you want to add a different hard drive controller.

Master/Slave Drive PIO Mode (For IS7-G, IS7, IS7-E, and IS7-M only)

The PIO (Programmed Input/Output) mode allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and then let the controller and the CPU perform the complete task, rather than having the BIOS issue a series of commands to affect a transfer to or from the disk drive.

[Auto]: The BIOS will select the best available mode after checking your disk drive.

[Mode 0-4]: You can select a mode that matches your disk drive’s timing. Do not use the wrong setting or you will have drive errors.
