Hard Disk S.M.A.R.T.
This setting allows you to activate the S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis &
Reporting Technology) capability for the hard disk drives. S.M.A.R.T is a utility

opportunity to move data from a hard disk that is going to fail to a safe place
before the hard disk becomes off-line.
Floppy Drive A
This setting allows you to set the type of floppy drives installed.

The IDE Primary Master/Slave, SATA1/2/3/4 items appear when you con-
nect hard disk drives to the IDE/SATA connector on the mainboard.
