large disk access mode.
Figure 19 — Advanced menu.
Integrated Peripherals Sub-Menu
The Integrated Peripherals sub-menu allows configuration of the onboard I/O ports, touch
screen, and IDE controller.
Advanced Chipset Control Sub-Menu
This option selects the Advanced Chipset Control sub-menu in order to configure the chipset.
Plug & Play O/S
If enabled, this option informs the System BIOS that the operating system that will be booted
supports plug-and-play. This forces the plug-and-play portion of the System BIOS to only con-
figure motherboard devices and those peripherals that are necessary for booting (display, hard
disk, etc.), the rest being left to the operating system to configure. The default is No.
Reset Configuration Data
If enabled, this option clears the Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) block residing in
FBD main block #2. This is necessary the first time a system is turned on or if the ESCD
becomes corrupted. The default is No. This option is automatically reset to No after the ESCD
is cleared.
Large Disk Access Mode
If you are using a hard disk larger than 528 MB and are running MS-DOS
®
, then set this selec-
tion to DOS. If you are using a different operating system, then set it to Other. When set to DOS,
the System BIOS will perform cylinder/head translation, if the drive is configured in Setup to
have more than 1024 cylinders. This allows MS-DOS systems to use hard disks up to 8 GB
(1024C x 255H x 63S) in size without special drivers or LBA. The default is DOS.
