AWARD BIOS SETUP
4.10 Integrated Peripherals
This menu is where you can configure your Input/Output features.
On-Chip Primary PCI IDE (Enabled)
On-Chip Secondary PCI IDE (Enabled)
Disabling either of these channels will disable support for the respective IDE
channel.
IDE Primary Master PIO (Auto)
IDE Primary Slave PIO (Auto)
IDE Secondary Master PIO (Auto)
IDE Secondary Slave PIO (Auto)
Setting this option to Auto activates the hard drive speed auto-detection function.
The PIO mode specifies the data transfer rate of the hard drive.
Examples:
Mode 0 data transfer rate is 3.3MB/sec
Mode 1 data transfer rate is 5.2MB/sec
Mode 2 data transfer rate is 8.3MB/sec
Mode 3 data transfer rate is 11.1MB/sec
Mode 4 data transfer rate is 16.6MB/sec
If your hard drive’s performance becomes unstable it may be necessary to set it
to a slower rate instead of Auto.
Onboard FDC Controller (Enabled)
Enables or disables the on-board floppy drive support. Disable this function if
you plan to use a controller card with floppy drive support.
NOTE: It is recommend that you do not use IDE/FDD controller cards on
motherboards which support these functions natively.
