[. . . ] Select either DMA Channel 1, 3, or Disable. UART2 Use Infrared (Disabled) When enabled, this field activates the onboard infrared feature and sets the second serial UART to support the infrared module connector on the motherboard. If your system already has a second serial port connected to the onboard COM2 connector, it will no longer work if you enable the infrared feature. By default, this field is set to Disabled, which leaves the second serial port UART to support the COM2 serial port connector. See IrDA-compliant infrared module connector under section III. Onboard PCI IDE Enable (Both) You can select to enable the primary IDE channel, secondary IDE channel, both, or disable both channels (for systems with only SCSI drives). IDE Ultra DMA Mode (Auto) This field autodetects Ultra DMA capability (for improved transfer speeds and data integrity) for compatible IDE devices. Set to Disable to suppress Ultra DMA capability. IDE 0 Master/Slave PIO/DMA Mode, IDE 1 Master/Slave PIO/DMA Mode (Auto) Each channel (0 and 1) 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 of Auto will allow autodetection to ensure optimal performance IV. BIOS Chipset Features 48 ASUS P2B-L/P2B-S/P2B-LS User's Manual IV. BIOS SOFTWARE Power Management Setup The "Power Management Setup" option allows you to reduce power consumption. This feature turns off the video display and shuts down the hard disk after a period of inactivity. NOTE: SETUP Defaults are noted in parenthesis next to each function heading. Details of Power Management Setup IV. BIOS Power Management 49 Power Management (User Define) This field acts as the master control for the power management modes. Max Saving puts the system into power saving mode after a brief period of system inactivity; Min Saving is almost the same as Max Saving except that this time the system inactivity period is longer; Disable disables the power saving features; User Define allows you to set power saving options according to your preference. IMPORTANT: Advanced Power Management (APM) should be installed to keep the system time updated when the computer enters suspend mode activated by the BIOS Power Management. For DOS environments, you need to add the statement, DEVICE=C:\DOS\POWER. EXE, in you CONFIG. SYS. For Windows 3. x and Windows 95, you need to install Windows with the APM feature. A battery and power cord icon labeled "Power" will appear in the "Control Panel. " Choose "Advanced" in the Power Management Field. Video Off Option (Suspend -> Off ) This field determines when to activate the video off feature for monitor power management. The settings are Always On and Suspend -> Off.

Before you run it, be sure the disk devices you want to format and partition are connected to the host adapter and that they are powered. Change to the directory where afdisk. exe is located (usually c:\scsi), type afdisk at the DOS prompt, and press Enter. Information about your SCSI disk devices appears on the screen. [. . . ]
