The following table describes each Integrated Peripherals parameter. Settings in boldface are the default and 
suggested settings.

Press [Enter] to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears:

IDE HDD Block Mode

Block mode is also called block transfer, multiple 
commands, or multiple sector read/write. If your 
IDE hard drive supports block mode (most new 
drives do), select [Enabled] for automatic 
detection of the optimal number of block read/
write per sector the drive can support.

The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) 
fields let you set a PIO mode (0-4) for each of the 
four IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface 
supports. Modes 0 through 4 provide 
successively increased performance. For 
example, mode 0 data transfer rate is 3.3MB/s, 
mode 1 is 5.2 MB/s, mode 2 is 8.3MB/s, mode 3 
is 11.1 MB/s and mode 4 is 16.6MB/s. In Auto 
mode, the system automatically determines the 
best mode for each device.

and mode 4
