4.3.1 Date
The BIOS determines the day of the week from the other date information. This field is for
information only. Press the left or right arrow key to move to the desired field (date, month,
year). Press the PgUp or PgDn key to increment the setting, or type the desired value into the
field.
4.3.2 Time
The time format is based on the 24-hour military-time clock. For example, 1 p.m. is 13:00:00.
Press the left or right arrow key to move to the desired field. Press the PgUp or PgDn key to
increment the setting, or type the desired value into the field.
4.3.3 Hard Disks
The BIOS supports up to four IDE drives. This section does not show information about other
IDE devices, such as a CD-ROM drive, or about other hard drive types, such as SCSI drives.
NOTE: We recommend that you select type AUTO for all drives.
The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications and optimal operating mode of almost
all IDE hard drives. When you select type AUTO for a hard drive, the BIOS detects its
specifications during POST, every time the system boots.
If you do not want to select drive type AUTO, other methods of selecting the drive type are
available:
