50 BIOS Setup
4.11 IDE HDD Auto Detection
If your system has an IDE hard drive, you can use this utility to detect its
parameters and enter them into the Standard CMOS Setup automatically.
This utility will detect as many as four IDE drives if your system configuration
supports that many. In sequence, a set of parameters for each drive will
appear in the box. To accept the entries displayed press the Y key, to skip to
the next drive, press the N key. If you accept the values, the parameters will
appear listed beside the drive letter and the program will attempt to detect
parameters for the next drive. If you press the N key to skip rather than accept
a set of parameters, zeros are entered after that drive letter.
Remember, if you use another IDE controller that does not have Enhanced
IDE supports for four devices, you can only install two IDE hard disk drives.
Your IDE controller must support Enhanced IDE features in order to use
Drive E: and Drive F:. The onboard PCI IDE controller supports Enhanced
IDE and has two Connectors that support a total of four IDE devices.
When you are finished, any entries you accepted are automatically entered
on the line for that drive in the Standard CMOS Setup. Any in Standard CMOS
Setup.
Note: If you are setting up a hard disk that supports LBA mode, three lines
will appear in the parameter box. Choose the line that lists LBA for an LBA
drive. Do not choose Large or Normal.
