2.3.6 System Information
This menu gives you an overview of the general system specifications. The items
in this menu are auto-detected by BIOS.
IDE Detect Time Out [35]
Selects the time out value for detecting ATA/ATAPI devices. Configuration options:
[0] [5] [10] [15] [20] [25] [30] [35]
Enhanced Mode Support On [S-ATA]
The default setting S-ATA allows you to use native OS (Windows 2000/XP) on
Serial ATA and Parallel ATA ports. We recommend that you do not change the
default setting for better OS compatibility. In this setting, you may use legacy
OS (Windows ME/98/98SE/NT4.0) on the Parallel ATA ports only if you did not
install any Serial ATA device.
The P-ATA+S-ATA and P-ATA options are for advanced users only. If you set to
any of these options and encounter problems, revert to the default setting
S-ATA. Configuration options: [P-ATA+S-ATA] [S-ATA] [P-ATA]
IDE Port Settings [Primary P-ATA+S-ATA]
Allows selection of the IDE ports to activate if you are using a legacy operating
system. Set to [Primary P-ATA+S-ATA] if you wish to use the primary Parallel
ATA and Serial ATA ports, or set to [Secondary P-ATA+SATA] to enable the
secondary P-ATA port instead. Setting to [P-ATA Ports Only] disables the two
Serial ATA ports supported by ICH5. Configuration options:
[Primary P-ATA+S-ATA] [Secondary P-ATA+S-ATA] [P-ATA Ports Only]
The Enhanced Mode Support On appears only when the item Onboard IDE
Operate Mode is set to Enhanced Mode.
The IDE Port Settings appears only when the item Onboard IDE Operate
Mode is set to Compatible Mode.
