Microstar G52-MA00514 manual IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO, IDE Burst Mode

BIOS Setup

IDE controllers. Setting options: Disabled, 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 settings are: Auto, Mode 0, Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3, Mode 4.

Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UltraDMA

Ultra DMA/33 implementation is possible only if your IDE hard drive supports it and the operating environment includes a DMA driver (Windows 95 OSR2 or a third-party IDE bus master driver). If your hard drive and your system software both support Ultra DMA/33, Ultra DMA/ 66 and Ultra DMA/100 select Auto to enable BIOS support. The settings are: Auto, Disabled.

IDE Burst Mode

This allows your hard disk controller to use the fast block mode to trans- fer data to and from the hard disk drive. Block mode is also called block transfer, multiple commands or multiple sector read/write. Enabled ena- bles IDE controller to use block mode; Disabled allows the controller to use standard mode. Setting options: Disabled, Enabled.
