BIOS SETUP 32

3.8 Integrated Peripherals

This option will load the default BIOS values. Choose the option and the following message appears.

•IDE HDD Block Mode

The item means HDD access uses over one cycle method for improving HDD performance. If the HDD supports this function, choose” Enabled”.

•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.

•IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave Ultra DMA

Ultra DMA/33 implementation is possible only if your IDE hard drive can support and the operating environment includes a DMA driver (Windows 95 OSR2 or a third-party IDE bus master driver). If your hard disk drive and your system software can both support Ultra DMA/ 33, select “Auto” to enable BIOS support.
