Integrated Peripherals
IDE HDD Block Mode
This option allows your hard disk controller to use the fast block mode to transfer data to and from your hard disk
drive (HDD).
Enabled IDE controller uses block mode.
Disabled IDE controller uses standard mode.
IDE PIO
IDE hard drive controllers can support up to two separate hard drives. These drives have a master/slave
relationship, which is determined by the cabling configuration used to attach them to the controller. Your system
supports one IDE controller – a primary and a secondary – so you have the ability to install up to four separate
hard disks.
PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than have the BIOS issue a series of commands effect a
transferring to or from the disk drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and then let the
controller and the CPU perform the complete task by them. This is simpler and more efficient (and faster). Your
system supports five modes, numbered from 0 to 4, which primarily differ in timing. When Auto is selected, the
BIOS will select the best available mode.
KBC input clock
This item it to chose the input clock of Keyboard Controller
OnBoard Serial Port 1 & 2
These options are used to select the port address of the on-board serial port A. The options are 3F8H, 2F8H,
3E8H, 2E8H, Auto and Disable. Port 1 is COM A; Port 2 is Com D and so on. Port four can be set to be IrDA
(Choose Auto) if the IrDA device has been connected.
OnBoard Parallel Port
This option is used to select the port address of the on-board parallel port. The options are 378H, 278H, 3BCH,
and Disabled.
Parallel Port Mode
This option specifies the parallel port Mode. The settings are Printer or Extended (Bi-direction).
