IV. BIOS SOFTWARE IDE HDD Auto Detection This "IDE HDD Auto Detection" option detects the parameters of an IDE hard disk drive, and automatically enters them into the Standard CMOS Setup screen. ROM PCI/ISA BIOS(PI55T2P4) CMOS SETUP UTILITY AWARD SOFTWARE,INC. HARD DISKS TYPE Primary Master : SIZE CYLS HEAD PRECOMP LANDZ SECTOR MODE Select Primary Master Option (N=Skip) : N OPTIONS SIZE CYLS HEAD PRECOMP LANDZ SECTOR MODE 2(Y) 1 3 849 823 32 849 1647 16 849 823 32 0 1646 65535 1646 65535 1646 63 LBA 63 NORMAL 63 LARGE Note: Some OSes (like SCO-UNIX) must use "NORMAL" for installation ESC : Skip Up to four IDE drives can be detected, with parameters for each listed inside the box. To accept the optimal entries, press the key or else select from the numbers displayed under the OPTIONS field (2, 1, 3 in this case); to skip to the next drive, press the key. If you accept the values, the parameters will appear listed beside the drive letter on the screen. The process then proceeds to the next drive letter. Pressing the key to skip rather than to accept a set of parameters causes the program to enter zeros after that drive letter. Remember that if you are using another IDE controller that does not feature Enhanced IDE support for four devices, you can only install two IDE hard disk drives. Your IDE controller must support the Enhanced IDE features in order to use Drive E and Drive F. The on-board PCI IDE controller supports Enhanced IDE, with two connectors for connecting up to four IDE devices. If you want to use another controller that supports four drives, you must disable the on-board IDE controller in the Chipset Features Setup screen. When auto-detection is completed, the program automatically enters all entries you accepted on the field for that drive in the Standard CMOS Setup screen. Skipped entries are ignored and are not entered in the screen. If you are auto-detecting a hard disk that supports the LBA mode, three lines will appear in the parameter box. Choose the line that lists LBA for an LBA drive. Do not select Large or Normal. IV. BIOS (HardDriveDetect) P/I-P55T2P4 User's Manual 43
