The best setting to use if the onboard IDE controllers are set to a specific IDE disk drive in
the AMIBIOS is “0 seconds” and a large majority of ultra ATA hard disk drives can be
detected well within “5 seconds” (the default setting).
ATA (PI) 80Pin Cable Detection [Host & Device]
When an Ultra ATA/66, an Ultra ATA/100 or an Ultra ATA/133 IDE hard disk drive is used,
an 80-conductor ATA cable must be used. The 80-conductor ATA cable is plug compatible
with the standard 40-conductor ATA cable. The system must detect the presence of correct
cable so that the AMIBIOS can instruct the drive to run at the correct speed for the cable
type detected.
The ATA (PI) 80Pin Cable Detection BIOS option allows you to determine how the IDE
cable will be detected.
Host & Device
(Default) Both the motherboard onboard IDE controller and
IDE disk drive are used to detect the type of IDE
cable used.
Host
The motherboard onboard IDE controller detects the
type of IDE cable used.
Device
The IDE disk drive to detects the type of IDE cable
used.
IDE PIO Pre-Fetch Enable [Disabled]
The IDE PIO PreFetch Enable BIOS Option allows you to set the IDE controller to prefetch
IDE data.
