The BIOS automatically detects the connected IDE/SATA devices. There is a

separate sub-menu for each IDE/SATA device. Select a device item, then press

<Enter> to display the IDE/SATA 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

SMART monitoring). These values are not user-congurable. These items show

N/A if no IDE device is installed in the system.

appropriate IDE device type. Select [CDROM] if you are specically conguring a

CD-ROM drive. Select [ARMD] (ATAPI Removable Media Device) if your device is

either a ZIP, LS-120, or MO drive.
