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.
