[. . . ] Select "Enabled" to activate the first and/or second IDE interface. Select "Disabled" to deactivate an interface if you are going to install a primary and/or secondary add-in IDE interface. The Choices: Enabled (default), Disabled. IDE Prefetch Mode The "onboard" IDE drive interfaces supports IDE prefetch function for faster drive access. If the interface on your drive does not support prefetching, or if you install a primary and/or secondary add-in IDE interface, set this option to "Disabled". The Choices: Enabled (default), Disabled. Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO The IDE PIO (Programmed Input / Output) fields let you set a PIO mode (0-4) for each of the IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 to 4 will increase performance progressively. In Auto mode, the system automatically determines the best mode for each device. The Choices: Auto (default), Mode0, Mode1, Mode2, Mode3, Mode4. Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA Ultra DMA function can be implemented if it is supported by the IDE hard drives in your system. As well, your operating environment requires a DMA driver (Windows 95 or OSR2may need a third party IDE bus master driver). If your hard drive and your system software both support Ultra DMA, select Auto to enable BIOS support. The Choices: Auto (default), Disabled. 21 P4M900-M7 FE/P4M890-M7 FE IDE HDD Block Mode Block mode is also called block transfer, multiple commands, or multiple sectors 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 mode (most new drives do), select Enabled for automatic detection of the optimal number of block read / write per sector where the drive can support. The Choices: Enabled (default), Disabled. VIA OnChip PCI Device Highlight the "Press Enter" label next to the "VIA OnChip PCI Device" label and press the enter key will take you a submenu with the following options: Figure 5. 2: VIA OnChip PCI Device Azalia HDA Controller This option allows you to control the onboard HD audio. The Choices: Auto (default), Disabled. LAN Controller This option allows you to control the onboard LAN. The Choices: Enabled (default), Disabled Lan Boot ROM Decide whether to invoke the boot ROM of the onboard LAN chip. The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled. 22 P4M900-M7 FE/P4M890-M7 FE Super IO Device Press Enter to configure the Super I/O Device. Onboard FDC Controller Select enabled if your system has a floppy disk controller (FDC) installed on the system board and you wish to use it. If you installed another FDC or the system uses no floppy drive, select disabled in this field. The Choices: Enabled (default), Disabled. Onboard Serial Port 1 Select an address and corresponding interrupt for the first and second serial ports. The Choices: 3F8/IRQ4 (default), Disabled, 2F8/IRQ3, 3E8/IRQ4, 2E8/IRQ3, Auto. Onboard Parallel Port This item allows you to determine access onboard parallel port controller with which I/O Address. The Choices: 378/IRQ7 (default), 278/IRQ5, 3BC/IRQ7, Disabled. 23 P4M900-M7 FE/P4M890-M7 FE Parallel Port Mode This item allows you to determine how the parallel port should function. The Choices: SPP (default) EPP ECP ECP+EPP Using Parallel port as Standard Printer Port. Using Parallel Port as Enhanced Parallel Port. [. . . ] This item is only effective under Windows 98 ACPI mode. The Choices: 60/ 140, 65/ 149, 70/ 158, 75/ 167, 80/ 176 , 85/ 185(default), 90/ 167, Disabled. CPU Vcore, NB Vcore, +3. 3V, +5. 0V, +12V, DRAM Voltage, VTT Voltage, Voltage Battery Detect the system's voltage status automatically. Current CPU Temp This field displays the current temperature of CPU. Current CPU FAN Speed This field displays the current speed of CPU fan. 35 P4M900-M7 FE/P4M890-M7 FE Current SYS FAN Speed This field displays the current speed SYSTEM fan. Show H/W Monitor in POST If you computer contains a monitoring system, it will show PC health status during POST stage. The item offers several different delay times. The Choices: Enabled (default), Disabled. 36 P4M900-M7 FE/P4M890-M7 FE 9 Performance Booster Zone Figure 9: Performance Booster Zone DRAM Clock/Drive Control This item controls the DRAM Clock.
