LBA Mode Control
When “Enabled” is selected, it causes logical block addressing to be used in place
of cylinders, heads, and sectors.
Transfer Mode
Enter the method for transferring the data between the hard disk drive and the
system memory. The Setup menu only lists those options supported by the drive.
Choices can include
Standard
Fast PIO 1, Fast PIO 2, Fast PIO 3, or Fast PIO 4
FPIO3 and Bus Mastering
FPIO4 and Bus Mastering (default setting).
Ultra DMA Mode
This field sets the Ultra DMA mode, which allows a faster read/write file transfer
rate (33 MB per second). Choices include Mode 0, Mode 1, and Mode 2, and
Disabled (the default). This setting should be disabled if an older hard disk drive is
installed that is not supported by Ultra DMA mode.
Advanced Menu
Selecting “Advanced” from the Main menu displays a menu with the following options.
PnP O/S
The PnP field indicates if the computer’s operating system is configured to use Plug and
Play devices. Choose “Yes” if you are using a system that has Plug and Play. The default for
systems running the Windows 95 operating system is “Yes.” The default for systems
running the Windows NT operating system is “No.”
Reset Configuration Data
Use this setting to clear CMOS (by selecting “Yes” and rebooting) if the system parameters
get corrupted. The default is “No.” (A “Yes” selection changes to “No” after the system is
rebooted.)
Enable ECC Memory
This field is only displayed when Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) DIMMs are
installed in the system. The field defaults to “Enabled.”
