Select Enabled to activate the primary and/or secondary onboard IDE interface. Select Disabled to deactivate this interface, if you install a primary and/or secondary add-in IDE interface. Enabled / Disabled Primary Master / Slave PIO The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input / Output) fields let you set a PIO mode (0-4) for each of the four IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 through 4 provide successively increased performance. In Auto mode, the system automatically determines the best mode for each device. Auto / Mode 0 ~ Mode 4 Primary Master / Slave UDMA This option allows you to select the mode of operation for the Ultra DMA/33 implementation. This is possible only if your IDE hard drive supports UDMA and the operating environment includes a DMA driver (Windows 95 OSR2 or a third party IDE bus master driver).

[. . . ] ZCR (Zero Channel RAID): PCI card that allows a RAID card to use the onboard SCSI chip, thus lowering cost of RAID solution ZIF Socket (Zero Insertion Force socket): these sockets make it possible to insert CPUs without damaging the sensitive CPU pins. The CPU is lightly placed in an open ZIF socket, and a lever is pulled down. This shifts the processor over and down, guiding it into the board and locking it into place. 79 http://www. tyan. com Technical Support If a problem arises with your system, you should turn to your dealer for help first. Your system has most likely been configured by them, and they should have the best idea of what hardware and software your system contains. [. . . ]
