2.9 Integrated Peripherals
IDE HDD Block Mode
Switches the block mode on/off for the hard disk. If the block mode is enabled,
then more sectors are simultaneously transferred at data transfer resulting from
the increase in speed.
PCI Slot IDE 2nd Channel
The second IDE channel can be manually deactivated here.
On-Chip Primary/Secondary IDE
The integrated IDE interface is equipped with two IDE channels, which can be
switched on and off separately here.
IDE Primary Master/Slave PIO
The PIO (Programmed I/O) fields let you select a PIO mode (0 to 4), as well as the
AUTO mode for all of the connected IDE devices (theoretically four: two channels
per interface). The PIO mode specifies the maximum speed of transfer to the IDE
bus. Modes 0 through 4 provide successively increased performance. The AUTO
setting automatically selects the best mode for each device.
