P/I-P55SP3AV User's Manual IDE HDD Auto Detection If your system has an IDE hard drive, you can use this utility to detect its parameters and enter them into the Standard CMOS Setup automatically. This utility will detect as many as four IDE drives if your system configuration supports that many. In sequence, a set of parameters for each drive will appear in the box. To accept the entries displayed press the Y key, to skip to the next drive, press the N key. If you accept the values, the parameters will appear listed beside the drive letter on the screen and the next letter, without parameters will appear and the program will attempt to detect parameters for the next drive. If you press the N key to skip rather than accept a set of parameters, zeros are entered after that drive letter. Remember, if you use another IDE controller that does not have Enhanced IDE support for four devices, you can only install two IDE hard disk drives. Your IDE controller must support Enhanced IDE features in order to use Drive E: and Drive F:. The on-board PCI IDE controller supports Enhanced IDE and has two connectors that support a total of four IDE devices. If you want to use another PCI IDE controller, you must disable the onboard PCI IDE controller by setting the "Internal PCI/IDE" line in the PCI/PNP & Onboard I/O Setup screen to "Disabled". When you are finished, any entries you accepted are automatically entered on the line for that drive in the Standard CMOS Setup. Any entries you skipped are ignored and nothing is entered for that drive in Standard CMOS Setup. S 3-26
