3 Recommend leaving this BIOS feature at the default [Enabled] setting. You should only disable it for troubleshooting purposes. For example, certain IDE devices may not run properly using DMA transfers when the PCI bus is overclocked. Disabling DMA support will force the drive to use the slower PIO transfer mode. This may allow the drive to work properly with the higher PCI bus speed. ► On-Chip Primary PCI IDE Enable/Disable Primary IDE port. It also relates to the drives displayed on the IDE Channel 0 Master/Slave in "Standard CMOS Feature" menu. ► IDE Primary Master PIO Specify a particular PIO mode (0,1,2,3,4) for legacy PIO operation or select Auto and let the system automatically detect it. ► IDE Primary Slave PIO Specify a particular PIO mode (0,1,2,3,4) for legacy PIO operation or select Auto and let the system automatically detect it. ► IDE Primary Master UDMA Disable UDMA operation or select Auto and let the system automatically detect it. ► IDE Primary Slave UDMA Disable UDMA operation or select Auto and let the system automatically detect it. *** On-Chip Serial ATA Setting *** ► On-Chip Serial ATA [Disabled] : Disable SATA Controller. Only 2 IDE drives are available at PATA port. [Combined Mode] : PATA and SATA are combined, maximum there are four IDE drives. You can select PATA as the Primary PCI IDE or select SATA as the Primary PCI IDE through the below "PATA IDE Mode" setting. Four drives are displayed as IDE Channel 0 Master/Slave and IDE Channel 1 Master/ Slave in "Standard CMOS Feature" menu. [Enhanced Mode] : Maximum of 6 IDE drives are supported. Two PATA drives are displayed as IDE Channel 0 Master/Slave, and four SATA drives are displayed as IDE Channel 2 Master/Slave and IDE Channel 3 Master/Slave in "Standard CMOS Feature" menu. [SATA Only] : SATA is operating in legacy mode. Four SATA drives are displayed as IDE Channel 0 Master/Slave and IDE Channel 1 Master/Slave in "Standard CMOS Feature" menu. ► SATA PORT Speed Setting When SATA is operating in [Enhanced Mode], you can select its speed to Disabled, SATA I or SATA II. Default SATA II can get the best performance. ► PATA IDE Mode When SATA is operating in [Combined Mode], you can further select which one of PATA or SATA is functioning as the Primary IDE and which one is functioning as the Secondary. ► SATA Port When SATA is operating in [Combined Mode], you can refer to this display message to connect SATA drives with the corresponding SATA ports on the motherboard for correct operations. 35

it for troubleshooting purposes. For example, certain IDE devices may not run properly using
DMA transfers when the PCI bus is overclocked. Disabling DMA support will force the drive to

PCI bus speed.
► On-Chip Primary PCI IDE
Enable/Disable Primary IDE port. It also relates to the drives displayed on the IDE Channel 0
Master/Slave in "Standard CMOS Feature" menu.
► IDE Primary Master PIO
Specify a particular PIO mode (0,1,2,3,4) for legacy PIO operation or select Auto and let the
system automatically detect it.
► IDE Primary Slave PIO
Specify a particular PIO mode (0,1,2,3,4) for legacy PIO operation or select Auto and let the
system automatically detect it.
► IDE Primary Master UDMA
Disable UDMA operation or select Auto and let the system automatically detect it.
► IDE Primary Slave UDMA
Disable UDMA operation or select Auto and let the system automatically detect it.
*** On-Chip Serial ATA Setting ***
► On-Chip Serial ATA
[Disabled] : Disable SATA Controller. Only 2 IDE drives are available at PATA port.
[Combined Mode] : PATA and SATA are combined, maximum there are four IDE drives. You
can select PATA as the Primary PCI IDE or select SATA as the Primary
PCI IDE through the below "PATA IDE Mode" setting. Four drives are
displayed as IDE Channel 0 Master/Slave and IDE Channel 1 Master/
Slave in "Standard CMOS Feature" menu.
[Enhanced Mode] : Maximum of 6 IDE drives are supported. Two PATA drives are displayed as
IDE Channel 0 Master/Slave, and four SATA drives are displayed as IDE
Channel 2 Master/Slave and IDE Channel 3 Master/Slave in "Standard
CMOS Feature" menu.
[SATA Only] : SATA is operating in legacy mode. Four SATA drives are displayed as IDE
Channel 0 Master/Slave and IDE Channel 1 Master/Slave in "Standard CMOS
Feature" menu.
► SATA PORT Speed Setting
When SATA is operating in [Enhanced Mode], you can select its speed to Disabled, SATA I or
SATA II. Default SATA II can get the best performance.
► PATA IDE Mode
When SATA is operating in [Combined Mode], you can further select which one of PATA or
SATA is functioning as the Primary IDE and which one is functioning as the Secondary.
► SATA Port
When SATA is operating in [Combined Mode], you can refer to this display message to connect
SATA drives with the corresponding SATA ports on the motherboard for correct operations.
