IDE HDD Block Mode

This field allows your hard disk controller to use the fast block mode to transfer data to and from your hard disk drive.

OnChip Primary/Secondary PCI IDE

The integrated peripheral controller contains an IDE interface with support for two IDE channels. Select Enabled to activate each channel separately.

IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO

These fields allow your system hard disk controller to work faster. Rather than have the BIOS issue a series of commands that transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO (Programmed Input/Output) allows the BIOS to communicate with the controller and CPU directly.

The system supports five modes, numbered from 0 (default) to 4, which primarily differ in timing. When Auto is selected, the BIOS will select the best available mode.

IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA

These fields allow your system to improve disk I/O throughput to 33Mb/sec with the Ultra DMA/33 feature. The options are Auto and Disabled.

On-Chip Serial ATA

The default setting of Auto allows the Serial ATA drive to be enabled, when the system detects one.

USB Controller

The options for this field are Enabled and Disabled. By default, this field is set to Enabled.

USB 2.0 Controller

The options for this field are Enabled and Disabled. By default, this field is set to Disabled. In order to use USB 2.0, necessary OS drivers must be installed first.

USB Keyboard Support

The options for this field are Enabled and Disabled. By default, this field is set to Disabled.
