All the options in this section are automatically detected by the motherboard chipset and BIOS. 3. 2 ­ Advanced Setup Options such as I/O device interfaces can be altered through this screen. DOS This option denotes that a hard drive with more Large Disk Access Other than 1024 cylinders, more than 16 heads and or Mode more than 64 tracks per sector is present. Boot Summary Screen Toggles the information screen on boot-up of the system. Erases all configuration data in a section of memory for ESCD Reset Configuration (Extended System Configuration Data) which stores the Data configuration settings for non-PnP plug-in devices.

Striping: see RAID UltraDMA-33/66/100: a fast version of the old DMA channel. Without proper UltraDMA controller, your system cannot take advantage of higher data transfer rates of the new UltraDMA/UltraATA hard drives. This one port type can function as a serial, parallel, mouse, keyboard or joystick port. [. . . ]
