a Feature Guide Other IDE Devices Enhanced IDE allows the use of IDE devices other than hard disks. Two devices such devices are Tape Backup and CD-ROM drives. To use IDE devices other than hard disks with this mainboard you may need to install a device driver in your system software configuration. Under Windows 95, you may only need to use the standard procedure to add a device to the system. Refer to the documentation that comes with any device you will install for instructions about this and any other installation requirements. Faster Data Transfer Enhanced IDE includes a scheme to support a significant increase in the rate of data transfer from the IDE device to the rest of the system compared to the previous standard. One aspect of this scheme is support for fast PIO timing modes. If you use both the on-board controller and hard disks that support fast timing, you can increase the data transfer rate significantly. Power Conservation This mainboard incorporates the power conservation technology, which you can set up in the BIOS Setup Utility, where the Power Management Setup section controls the board's power management scheme. The power management features include hard disk and video controls. For more information see the section on Power Management Setup in Chapter 3. Audio Features This mainboard includes full 16-bit sound card capabilities and comes with a suite of Windows audio utilities.
