Internal PCI / IDE

This chipset contains an internal PCI IDE interface with support for two IDE channels. The choice: Primary, Secondary, Both.

IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO

The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input / Output) fields let you set a PIO mode (0-4) for each of the four IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 through 4 provide successively increased performance. In Auto mode, the system automatically determines the best mode for each device.

The choice: Auto, Mode 0, Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3, Mode 4.

IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA

UDMA (Ultra DMA) is a DMA data transfer protocol that utilizes ATA commands and the ATA bus to allow DMA commands to transfer data at a maximum burst rate of 33 MB/s. When you select Auto in the four IDE UDMA fields (for each of up to four IDE devices that the internal PCI IDE interface supports), the system automatically determines the optimal data transfer rate for each IDE device. The choice: Auto, Mode 0, Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3, Mode 4.

IDE Burst Mode

Selecting Enabled reduces latency between each drive read/write cycle, but may cause instability in IDE subsystems that cannot support such fast performance. If you are getting disk drive errors, try setting this value to Disabled. This field does not appear when the Internal PCI/IDE field, above, is Disabled. The choice: Enabled, Disabled.

IDE Data Port Post Write

Selecting Enabled speeds up processing of drive reads and writes, but may cause instability in IDE subsystems that cannot support such fast performance. If you are getting disk drive errors, try setting this value to Disabled

The choice: Enabled, Disabled.

IDE HDD Block Mode

The chipset contains a PCI IDE interface with support for two IDE channels. Select Enabled to activate the primary and/or secondary IDE interface. Select Disabled to deactivate this interface, if you install a primary and/or secondary add-in IDE interface IDE interface. Enabled : Secondary HDD controller used Disabled : Secondary HDD controller not used.

Onboard FDD Controller

This should be enabled if your system has a floppy disk drive (FDD) installed on the system board and you wish to use it. Even when so equipped, if you add a higher performance controller, you will need to disable this feature.

The choice: Enabled, Disabled.

Onboard Serial Port 1/Port 2

This item allows you to determine access onboard serial port 1/port 2 controller with which I/O address. The choice: 3F8/IRQ4, 2E8/IRQ3, 3E8/IRQ4, 2F8/IRQ3, Disabled, Auto.

IR Address Select

This item allows you to determine access onboard IR port controller with which I/O address. The choice: 3F8, 2E8, 3E8, 2F8 and Disabled.

IR Mode

Offers a selection of two different types of infrared ports.

IrDA : Standard Infra Red Port

ASKIR : Amplitude Shift Keyed Infrared Port

IR IRQ Select

Select Interuppt for IR port. Options 3, 4, 10, 11.

Onboard Parallel Port

Select a logical LPT port name and matching address for the physical parallel (printer) port.

Parallel Port Mode

Select an operating mode for the onboard parallel (printer) port. Select SPP unless you are certain your hardware and software both support one of the other available modes. The choice: SPP, EPP, ECP, ECP+E PP.

ECP Mode Use DMA

Select a DMA channel for the parallel port for use during ECP mode. The choice: 3, 1.

Onboard Serial Port 3/Port 4

This item allows you to determine access onboard serial port 3 / port 4 controller with which I/O address. The choice for both ports

I/O Address: 3F8/2E8/3E8/2F8, IRQ : 3/4/10/11

PS/2 mouse function

If your system has a PS/2 mouse port and you install a serial pointing device, select Disabled. The choice: Enabled, Disabled.

USB Controller

Select Enabled if your system contains a Universal Serial Bus (USB) controller and you have USB peripherals. The choice: Enabled, Disabled.
