Table 4-2. SATA Configuration Submenu (Continued)

Menu Item

Description

 

PIO (Programmable I/O) mode programs timing cycles between the IDE drive

 

and the programmable IDE controller. As the PIO mode increases, the cycle time

 

decreases. The options are Auto, 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Select Auto to allow BIOS to

 

auto detect the PIO mode.

 

Use this value if the IDE disk drive support cannot be determined.

 

• Select 0 to allow BIOS to use PIO mode 0, which has a data transfer rate of

 

3.3 MBs.

 

• Select 1 to allow BIOS to use PIO mode 1, which has a data transfer rate of

PIO Mode

5.2 MBs.

• Select 2 to allow BIOS to use PIO mode 2, which has a data transfer rate of

 

 

8.3 MBs.

 

• Select 3 to allow BIOS to use PIO mode 3, which has a data transfer rate of

 

11.1 MBs.

 

• Select 4 to allow BIOS to use PIO mode 4, which has a data transfer rate of

 

16.6 MBs.

 

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.

 

Selects the DMA Mode. Options are Auto, SWDMA0, SWDMA1, SWDMA2,

DMA Mode

MWDMA0. MDWDMA1, MWDMA2, UDMA0. UDMA1, UDMA2, UDMA3,

UDMA4 and UDMA5. (SWDMA=Single Word DMA, MWDMA=Multi Word DMA,

 

 

UDMA=UltraDMA.

 

 

 

Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) can help predict

 

impending drive failures. Select Auto to allow BIOS to auto detect hard disk

S.M.A.R.T.

drive support. Select "Disabled" to prevent AMI BIOS from using the S.M.A.R.T.

 

Select ENABLED to allow AMI BIOS to use the S.M.A.R.T. to support hard drive

 

disk. The options are DISABLED, ENABLED, and Auto.
