NANO-PV-D510A User Manual

Block (Multi Sector Transfer) [Auto]

Use the Block (Multi Sector Transfer) to disable or enable BIOS to auto detect if the device supports multi-sector transfers.

Disabled	BIOS is prevented from using Multi-Sector Transfer on the
	specified channel. The data to and from the device occurs
	one sector at a time.
Auto	DEFAULT BIOS auto detects Multi-Sector Transfer support on the
	drive on the specified channel. If supported the data
	transfer to and from the device occurs multiple sectors at
	a time.

PIO Mode [Auto]

Use the PIO Mode option to select the IDE PIO (Programmable I/O) mode program timing cycles between the IDE drive and the programmable IDE controller. As the PIO mode increases, the cycle time decreases.

Auto DEFAULT BIOS automatically detects the PIO mode. Use this value if the

	IDE disk drive support cannot be determined.
0	PIO mode 0 selected with a maximum transfer rate of 3.3 MB/s
1	PIO mode 1 selected with a maximum transfer rate of 5.2 MB/s
2	PIO mode 2 selected with a maximum transfer rate of 8.3 MB/s
3	PIO mode 3 selected with a maximum transfer rate of 11.1 MB/s
4	PIO mode 4 selected with a maximum transfer rate of 16.6 MB/s
	(This setting generally works with all hard disk drives

manufactured after 1999. For other disk drives, such as IDE CD-ROM drives, check the specifications of the drive.)

DMA Mode [Auto]

Use the DMA Mode BIOS selection to adjust the DMA mode options.
