3.6.1 On-Chip Primary/Secondary PCI IDE
If you enable IDE HDD Block Mode, the enhanced IDE driver will be
enabled. Leave IDE HDD Block Mode on the default setting.
3.6.2 IDE Primary Master/Slave PIO/UDMA Mode,
IDE Secondary Master/Slave PIO/UDMA Mode (Auto)
Each channel (Primary and Secondary) has both a master and a slave,
making four IDE devices possible. Because each IDE device may have
a different Mode timing (0, 1, 2, 3, 4), it is necessary for these to be
independent. The default setting “Auto” will allow autodetection to
ensure optimal performance.
3.6.3 Init Display First
This item allows you to choose which one to activate first, PCI Slot or
AGP. The choices: PCI Slot, AGP.
3.6.4 IDE HDD Block Mode
Block mode is also called block transfer, multiple commands, or
multiple sector read/write. If your 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.
The choice: Enabled, Disabled
3.6.5 Onboard FDD Controller
When enabled, this field allows you to connect your floppy disk
drives to the onboard floppy disk drive connector instead of a
separate controller card. If you want to use a different controller card
to connect the floppy disk drives, set this field to Disabled.
3.6.6 Onboard Serial Port 1 (3F8H/IRQ4)
The settings are Auto 3F8/IRQ4, 2F8/IRQ3, 3E8/IRQ4, 2E8/IRQ3, and
Disabled for the on-board serial connector.
