The BIOS automatically detects the values opposite the dimmed items (Capacity,
Cylinder, Head, Sector and Transfer Mode). These values are not user-
configurable. These items show N/A if no IDE device is installed in the system.

Secondary IDE Master/Slave [Auto]
Select [Auto] to automatically detect an IDE hard disk drive. If automatic detection
is successful, the BIOS automatically fills in the correct values for the remaining
fields on this sub-menu. If the hard disk was already formatted on a previous
system, the setup BIOS may detect incorrect parameters. Select [Manual] to
manually enter the IDE hard disk drive parameters. If no drive is installed select
[None]. Configuration options: [None] [Auto] [Manual]
Access Mode [Auto]
The default [Auto] allows automatic detection of an IDE hard disk drive. Select [CHS]
for this item if you set the IDE Primary Master/Slave to [Manual]. Configuration
options: [CHS] [LBA] [Large] [Auto]
Before attempting to configure a hard disk drive, make sure you have the correct
configuration information supplied by the drive manufacturer. Incorrect settings
may cause the system to fail to recognize the installed hard disk.
