Chapter 4: BIOS Setup

4.3.2 Secondary Master/Slave

IDE HDD Auto-Detection [Press Enter]

Press enter to automatically detect an IDE hard disk drive, if the hard drive is

not already detected. In cases of undetected HDDs, pressing enter will detect

the HDD and then open access to both the IDE Primary Master and Access

Mode fields.

IDE Secondary Master/Slave [Auto]

Select [Auto] to automatically detect an IDE hard disk drive. If automatic

detection is successful, the setup BIOS automatically fills in the correct values

for the remaining fields on this sub-menu. If automatic detection fails, this

may be because the hard disk drive is too old or too new. If the hard disk was

already formatted on a previous system, the setup BIOS may detect incorrect

parameters. In these cases, select [Manual] to manually enter the IDE hard

disk drive parameters. See Access Mode below and refer to the next page

for more details. If no drive is installed or if you are removing a drive and not

replacing it, select [None]. Configuration options: [None] [Auto [Manual]

Access Mode [Auto]

The default [Auto] automatically detects an IDE hard disk drive. Select [CHS]

in coordination with the [Manual] setting of the IDE Primary Master in order

to enter the Hard Disk Drive values manually.

CAUTION! Before attempting to configure a hard disk drive, make sure

you have the correct configuration information supplied by the drive

manufacturer. Incorrect settings may cause the system to fail to recognize

the installed hard disk.
