TF7050-M2 / TF7025-M2 BIOS Manual On-chip IDE Channel 0 The motherboard chipset contains a P CI IDE interface with support for two IDE channels. Select " Enabled" to activate the first and/or second IDE interface. Select " Disabled" to deactivate an interface if you are going to install a primary and/or secondary add-in IDE interface. The Choices: Enabled (default), Disabled. Primary Master/Slave PIO The IDE P IO (P rogrammed Input / Output) fields let you set a P IO mode (0-4) for each of the IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 to 4 will increase performance progressively. In Auto mode, the system automatically determines the best mode for each device. The Choices: Auto (default), Mode0, Mode1, Mode2, Mode3, Mode4. Primary Master/Slave UDMA Ultra DMA function can be implemented if it is supported by the IDE hard drives in your system. As well, your operating environment requires a DMA driver (Windows 95 or OSR2may need a third party IDE bus master driver). If your hard drive and your system software both support Ultra DMA, select Auto to enable BIOS support. The Choices: Auto (default), Disabled. IDE DMA Transfer Access This item allows you to enable or disable the IDE DMA transfer access. The Choices: Enabled (default), Disabled. Serial-ATA Controller The Choices: Enabled (default), Disabled. IDE Prefetch Mode The " onboard" IDE drive interfaces supports IDE prefetch function for faster drive access. If the interface on your drive does not support prefetching, or if you install a primary and/or secondary add-in IDE interface, set this option to " Disabled". The Choices: Enabled (default), Disabled. 19
