Integrated Peripherals BIOS Setup On-Chip Primary/Secondary PCI IDE The integrated peripheral controller contains an IDE interface with support for two IDE channels. Choose Enabled to activate each channel separately. IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) fields let you set a PIO mode (0-4) for each of the four IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports. Modes 0 through 4 provide successively increased performance. In Auto mode, the system automatically determines the best mode for each device. The settings are: Auto, Mode 0, Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3, Mode 4. IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave UDMA Ultra DMA/33/66/100 implementation is possible only if your IDE hard drive supports it and the operating environment includes a DMA driver (Windows 95 OSR2 or a third-party IDE bus master driver). If your hard drive and your system software both support Ultra DMA/33, Ultra DMA/66 or even Ultra DMA/100, select Auto to enable BIOS support. Settings: Auto, Disabled. 3-15
