P/I-P55SP3AV User's Manual Mode Setting For Hard Disk Drives Larger Than 528MB The last of the specification entries, Mode, requires additional explanation. The Mode settings are for IDE hard disks only. You can ignore this item for MFM and ESDI drives. There are three entries you can select from in the Mode field, "Normal", "Large" and "LBA". Set Mode to the Normal setting for IDE hard disk drives smaller than 528MB. Use the LBA setting for drives over 528MB that use Logical Block Addressing mode to allow larger IDE hard disks. The Large setting is for drives over 528MB that do not use the LBA mode. This type of drive can only be used with MS-DOS and is uncommon. The majority of IDE drives over 528MB use the LBA mode. Note: Entering incorrect drive specifications will result in a hard disk drive functioning improperly or not at all.
