Date and Time
This selection sets the time and date for the system. Press
<F3> for the calendar. These items cannot be altered; they
are detected and displayed automatically.
Hard Drive Type
This allows you to enter the appropriate specifications for the
type of hard disk drive(s) installed in your system. Under the
“Type” category, you can select Auto, User, one of 46
predefined drive specifications or None.
Auto
This option indicates that the parameters for your hard disk
drive(s) will be automatically detected and displayed when
you boot your system.
By default, the LBA mode is selected for a hard disk drive
larger than 528 megabytes. If you decide not to accept the LBA
mode, you can either specify your selection in the “IDE HDD
Auto Detection” menu, or use the User option described below.
User
This type is user definable and allows you to enter the
specifications yourself directly from the keyboard. Six
categories of information are required: Size, Cylinders,
Heads, Precomp, LandZone and Sectors. This information
should be provided by your hard disk vendor or system
manufacturer. However, we recommend you use the “IDE
HDD Auto Detection” which provides a more efficient way
to setup your hard drive.
46 Predefined Drive Specifications
The table in Appendix A gives complete listings of the
available drive types. Please refer to your hard disk docu-
mentation for the appropriate type number.
