The available settings and types supported by the motherboard are listed to the left. IDE Drives To configure the IDE drives connected to your system, select the parameter that represents the channel and port where the desired hard disk to configure is connected. The options are: IDE Primary Channel Master This option lets you configure the hard disk drive connected to the master port of IDE channel 1. IDE Primary Channel Slave This option lets you configure the hard disk drive connected to the slave port of IDE channel 1. 56 AX4BR-U IDE Secondary Channel Master This option lets you configure the hard disk drive connected to the master port of IDE channel 2. IDE Secondary Channel Slave This option lets you configure the hard disk drive connected to the slave port of IDE channel 2. The following screen appears if you select any of the IDE Drive parameters: Online Manual IDE Primary Channel Master Device Detection Mode Device Type [Auto] Hard Disk Cylinder Head Sector Size [ [ [ [ 20020 0] 0] 0] ] M. B. Hard Disk LBA Mode [Auto] 57 AX4BR-U Device Detection Mode Device Detection Mode Auto (Default) User None Online Manual If you select "Manual", you need to fill in all remaining field, such as Cylinder, Head, and Sector on this selected item. If the item "Auto" is selected, the items will remain "0". And when the system boot up, system will detect the hard disk and configure it automatically. "None" means there is no device in the channel. Device Type This parameter shows which type of IDE drive currently used. Cylinder This parameter specifies the number of cylinders of your hard disk, and is automatically set depending on your Type parameter setting. Head This parameter specifies the number of heads of your hard disk, and is automatically set depending on your Type parameter setting. 58 AX4BR-U Sector Online Manual This parameter specifies the number of sectors of your hard disk, and is automatically set depending on your Type parameter setting. Size This parameter specifies the size of your hard disk, in MB. Hard Disk LBA Mode Hard Disk Block Mode Auto (Default) Disabled This function enhances disk performance depending on the hard disk in use. If you set this parameter to "Auto", the BIOS utility automatically detects if the installed hard disk drive supports the Block Mode function. If supported, it allows data transfer in blocks (multiple sectors) at a rate of 256 bytes per cycle. To disregard the feature, change the setting to "Disable". 59 AX4BR-U O n b o ar d P er i p h e r al s Online Manual The Onboard Peripherals Configuration allows you to configure the onboard communication ports and the onboard devices.
