[. . . ] If you know your hard disk type, you can enter the setting manually. Setting this parameter also sets the Cylinder, Head, Sector, and Size parameters. Options Auto, None, or User. The User setting allows you to enter your settings manually if you know your hard disk type. The Auto setting also sets the Cylinder, Head, Sector, and Size parameters. Cylinder Specifies your hard disk's number of cylinders, and is automatically set depending on your Type parameter setting. Specifies your hard disk's number of heads, and is automatically set depending on your Type parameter setting. Specifies your hard disk's number of sectors, and is automatically set depending on your Type parameter setting. Specifies the size of your hard disk, in MB, and is automatically set depending on your type parameter setting. Enables your system to support hard disks with capacities more than 504 MB. Auto or Disabled Head Sector Size Hard Disk Size > 504 MB APSNUG. book Page 53 Tuesday, May 4, 1999 11:13 AM 53 Parameter Hard Disk Block Mode Description Enhances your hard disk performance by allowing data transfer in blocks (multiple sectors) at a rate of 256 bytes per cycle. This parameter appears only in the Advanced Level. Improves your hard disk performance by allowing faster data recovery and read/write timing; thus, it reduces the hard disk's activity time. This parameter appears only in the Advanced Level. Improves your hard disk performance by allowing the use of the 32-bit hard disk access. This parameter appears only in the Advanced Level. Lets you enable the Ultra DMA and Multi-DMA modes to enhance your hard disk performance. This parameter appears only in the Advanced Level. Options Auto or Disabled Advanced PIO Mode Auto or Mode 0 to 4 Hard Disk 32bit Access Enabled or Disabled DMA Transfer Mode Auto, Multi Mode 0 to 2, or Ultra Mode 0 to 2 APSNUG. book Page 54 Tuesday, May 4, 1999 11:13 AM 54 Chapter 3 BIOS Information Onboard Peripherals ! % $ " $  % $? $  " $ "$$ $ Parameter Serial Port 1 / 2 Description Let you enable or disable the serial ports. Lets you set a logical base address for each serial port. This parameter is configurable only if the Serial Port parameter is enabled. Lets you assign an interrupt for each serial port. This parameter is configurable only if the Serial Port parameter is enabled. Options Enabled or Disabled Base Address 3F8h (for serial port 1), 2F8h (for serial port 2), 2E8h, 3E8h IRQ 4 or 11 (for serial port 1), 3 or 10 (for serial port 2) APSNUG. book Page 55 Tuesday, May 4, 1999 11:13 AM 55 Parameter Parallel Port Description Lets you enable or disable the parallel port. Lets you set a logical base address for the parallel port. This parameter is configurable only if the Parallel Port parameter is enabled. [. . . ] Lets you specify whether BIOS will initialize only PnP boot devices such as SCSI cards, or all PnP boot and non-boot devices such as sound cards. When enabled, avoids IRQ conflict when installing nonPnP and PnP ISA cards. This clears all resource assignments and allows BIOS to reassign resources to all installed PnP devices the next time the system boots. Options Enabled or Disabled Plug and Play OS Yes or No Reset Resource Assignments Yes or No After clearing the resource data, it is recommended that you reset the parameter to its default, i. e. , No. APSNUG. book Page 73 Tuesday, May 4, 1999 11:13 AM 73 Load Default Settings E0&" $% %3 $%% $ % .
