4-16 Chapter 4: BIOS setup
4.3.5 Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Fourth, Fifth,
and Sixth IDE Master/Slave
The BIOS automatically detects the connected IDE devices. There is a
separate sub-menu for each IDE device. Select a device item, then press
<Enter> to display the IDE device information.
The BIOS automatically detects the values opposite the dimmed items
(Device, Vendor, Size, LBA Mode, Block Mode, PIO Mode, Async DMA, Ultra
DMA, and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring). These values are not user-congurable.
These items show N/A if no IDE device is installed in the system.

of the appropriate IDE device type. Select [CDROM] if you are specically
