BIOS Setup Utility

If [UDMA5] is selected, the BIOS uses Ultra DMA mode 5, with a data transfer rate of

99.9MBs. To use this mode, an 80-conductor ATA cable is required.

If [UDMA6] is selected, the BIOS uses Ultra DMA mode 6, with a data transfer rate of

133.2MBs. To use this mode, an 80-conductor ATA cable is required.

S.M.A.R.T. – [Auto], [Disabled], or [Enabled]

The Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) feature can help predict impending drive failures.

If [Auto] is selected, the BIOS auto detects hard disk drive support. Use this setting if the IDE disk drive support cannot be determined.

If [Disabled] is selected, the BIOS is prevented from using SMART feature.

If [Enabled] is selected, the BIOS uses the SMART feature on the hard disk drives.

32Bit Data Transfer – [Disabled] or [Enabled] This field sets the 32-bit data transfer rate.

If [Enabled] is selected, the BIOS uses 32-bit data transfers on the supported hard disk drive.

>Primary IDE Slave: – [Not Detected] or [Device Type]

The descriptions used for the Primary IDE Master are the same for the Primary IDE Slave except where noted.

If the BIOS does not detect a device on the Primary IDE Slave 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.

Type – [Not Installed], [Auto], [CD/DVD], or [ARMD]

If [Not Installed] appears due to Not Detected, the balance of the options for Primary IDE Slave may not appear on screen.

LBA/Large Mode – [Disabled] or [Auto]

Block (Multi-Sector Transfer) – [Disabled] or [Auto]

PIO Mode – [Auto], [0], [1], [2], [3], or [4]

DMA Mode – [Auto], [SWDMA0], [SWDMA01], [SWDMA2], [MWDMA0], [MWDMA1], [MWDMA2], [UDMA0], [UDMA1], [UDMA2], [UDMA3], [UDMA4], [UDMA5], or [UDMA6]

S.M.A.R.T. – [Auto], [Disabled], or [Enabled]

32Bit Data Transfer – [Disabled] or [Enabled]

>Secondary IDE Master: – [Not Detected] or [Device Type]

The descriptions used for the Primary IDE Master are the same for the Secondary IDE Master except where noted.

If the BIOS does not detect a device on the Secondary 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.

Type – [Not Installed], [Auto], [CD/DVD], or [ARMD]

If [Not Installed] appears due to Not Detected, the balance of the options for Secondary IDE Master may not appear on screen.
