Transfer Mode (IDE devices only) Specifies the active data transfer mode. Options (subject to device capabilities) are PIO 0, Max PIO, Enhanced DMA, Ultra DMA 0, and Max UDMA. Translation Mode (IDE disks only) Lets you select the translation mode to be used for the device. When enabled, the BIOS rejects all requests to write to the MBR on the current bootable disk. Each time the computer is powered on or rebooted, the BIOS compares the MBR of the current bootable disk to the previously-saved MBR. If changes are detected, you are given the option of saving the MBR on the current bootable disk, restoring the previously-saved MBR, or disabling MBR Security. You must know the setup password, if one is set. Disable MBR Security before intentionally changing the formatting or partitioning of the current bootable disk. Several disk utilities (such as FDISK and FORMAT) attempt to update the MBR. If MBR Security is enabled and disk accesses are being serviced by the BIOS, write requests to the MBR are rejected, causing the utilities to report errors. If MBR Security is enabled and disk accesses are being serviced by the operating system, any MBR change will be detected by the BIOS during the next reboot, and an MBR Security warning message will be displayed. Support for Computer Setup options may vary depending on your specific hardware configuration. 12 www. hp. com Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide Computer Setup (Continued) Heading Power Option Energy Saver Description Allows you to set the energy saver mode (advanced, disable, or minimal).
