[. . . ] If you are running a Windows operating system, these items will automatically be updated whenever you make changes to the Windows Date and Time Properties utility. 25 Hard Disks Defaults: Auto These items show the characteristics of any hard disk drives on the four available IDE channels. (Note that SCSI hard disk drives do not appear here. ) You can automatically install most modern hard disks using the IDE HDD Auto Detect Option from the main menu. However, if you find that a drive cannot be automatically detected, you can use these items to select USER, and then manually enter the characteristics of the drive. The documentation provided with your drive provides the data you need to fill in the values for CYLS (cylinders), HEAD (read/write heads), and so on. The documentation provided with the drive may not tell you what value to use under the MODE heading. If the drive is smaller than 528 MB, set MODE to Normal. If the drive is larger than 528 MB and it supports Logical Block Addressing, set MODE to LBA. Very few high-capacity drives do not support Logical Block Addressing. If you have such a drive, you might be able to configure it by setting the MODE to Large. If you're not sure which MODE setting is required by your drive, set MODE to Auto and let the setup utility try to determine the mode automatically. Drive A and Drive B Default: None , None These items define the characteristics of any diskette drive attached to the system. You can connect one or two diskette drives.

Video Default: EGA/VGA This item defines the video mode of the system. This mainboard has a built-in VGA graphics system so you must leave this item at the default value. Halt On Default: All Errors This item defines the operation of the system POST (Power On Self Test) routine. You can use this item to select which kind of errors in the POST are sufficient to halt the system. These items show how much memory is available on the system. They are automatically detected by the system so you cannot manually make changes to these items. BIOS Feature Setup Option This option displays a table of items which defines more advanced information about your system. You can make modifications to most of these items without introducing fatal errors to your system. 26 CPU Internal Core Speed Default: 350MHz This item should be installed with the rated internal core speed of the Pentium-II class processor that is installed in your system.
