Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO
The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) fields set the 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. Set this function to one of the configuration
options: Auto, Mode 0, Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3 or Mode 4.
Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA
Ultra DMA/33 implementation is possible only if the 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 the hard
drive and the system software both support Ultra DMA/33 and Ultra
DMA/66, select Auto to enable BIOS support. Set this function to one of
the configuration options: Auto or Disabled.
Primary/Secondary Master/Slave RAID
Configure the RAID controllers accordingly. The setting for this option is
Enabled or Disabled.
IDE Prefetch Mode
The onboard IDE drive interfaces support IDE prefetching, for faster
drive accesses. If a primary and or secondary add-in IDE interfaces are
installed, set this field to Disabled if the interface does not support
prefetching. Set this function to one of the configuration options:
Enabled or Disabled.
IDE DMA Transfer Access
This setting is for the standard controllers on the motherboard,
configuring it accordingly. Set this function to one of the configuration
options: Enabled or Disabled.
IDE HDD Block Mode
Block mode is also called block transfer, multiple commands, or multiple
sector read/write. If the IDE hard drive supports block mode (most new
drives do), select Enabled for automatic detection of the optimal number
of block read/writes per sector the drive can support. Set this function to
one of the configuration options: Enabled or Disabled.
SATA Controller
This item determines if the SATA Controller is functional, configuring it
accordingly. Set this function to one of the configuration options:
Enabled or Disabled.
SATA DMA Transfer
This item selects the DMA mode for devices connected through SATA
channels. Set this function to one of the configuration options: Enabled
or Disabled.
SATA Primary/Secondary Master RAID
These items set the SATA Primary and Secondary Master RAID
devices. Set this function to one of the configuration options: Enabled or
Disabled
