This mainboard can support four IDE devices. 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 while the system boots. If you do not want to select
drive type “AUTO”, other methods of selecting the drive type are also available.
