Award BIOS Setup Utility

IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave

If you wish to define your own drive type manually, select “Manual”. The drive type information should be included in the documentation from your hard disk vendor. If you select ”Auto”, the BIOS will auto-detect the HDD & CD-ROM drive at the POST stage and show the IDE for the HDD & CD-ROM drive. If a hard disk has not been installed, select “None”.

Capacity

Displays the approximate capacity of the disk drive. Usually the size is slightly greater than the size of a formatted disk given by a disk checking program.

Access Mode

For hard drives larger than 528MB, you would typically select the LBA type. Certain operating systems require that you select Normal or Large. Please check your operating system’s manual or Help desk on which one to select.
