MBM-530NS User’s Manual -69-
Specifications for SCSI hard disks need not to be entered here since they
operate using device drivers and are not supported by any of the BIOS.
Please refer to the respective documentation of the devices.
For IDE hard disk drive setup, you can:
• Use the Auto setting for detection during bootup.
• Use the IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION in the main menu to automatically
enter the driver’s specifications.
• Enter the specifications yourself manually by using the “User” option.
The entries for specifying the hard disk type include
CYLS
(number of
cylinder).
HEAD
(number of read/write heads),
PRECOMP
(write
precompensation),
LANDZ
(landing zone),
SECTOR
(number of sectors) and
MODE
. The
SIZE
field automatically adjusts according to the configuration
you specify. The documentation that comes with your hard disk should
provide you with the information regarding the drive specifications.
The
MODE
entry is for IDE hard disks only, and can be ignored for MFM and
ESDI drives. This entry provides three options: Normal, Large, LBA, or Auto
(see below). Set
MODE
to the normal for IDE hard disk drives smaller than
528MB; set it to LBA for drives over528MB that support Logical Block
Addressing (LBA) to allow larger IDE hard disks; set it to Large for drives over
528MB that do not support LBA. Large type of drive can only be used with
MS-DOS and is very uncommon. Most IDE drives over 528MB support the
LBA mode.
