Figure 2-8. Setup 2 — Standard CMOS Setup

The Standard CMOS Setup screen allows you to configure the following parameters:

!DATE – Requires the numeric entry of mm:dd:yyyy. Calendar month is displayed and year requires all 4 digits of century plus year.

!No parameters are displayed for auto-detect hard disk.

!The value displayed for Other Memory is required and utilized for system BIOS, video BIOS, and other system extension ROM shadowing. It is not available for general OEM use.

!HARD DISK – When Auto TYPE is used the MODE should also be AUTO.

!When using any IDE hard drive, Auto is the best choice.

EIDE Hard Disk Drives

The module supports up to two hard disk drives connected to the IDE interface. Only hard disk drives are directly supported in the system’s ROM BIOS. IDE CD-ROM drives and other IDE- interfaced peripherals are configured by software or drivers supplied separately.

Physical drives can have one or more logical partitions. You can install up to eight logical drives using drive partitions. To configure the system for the IDE hard drives in your system, set the drive parameters with Setup, as outlined here:

Drive Types — the configuration memory contains a default list of parameters that specify the physical format of each drive. Each type specifies the total number of cylinders, number of heads, cylinder to begin precompensation, landing zone cylinder number, and the number of sectors per
