thegeneva.com » Verifying DMI Pool Data…

I have to make a few corrections to this article. First the BIOS does the POST then it goes onto do some other things then it goes onto “Verifying DMI Pool data”

The “Cable Select” jumper on hard drives allows the hard drive to determin if it should be a master or slave depending upon it’s postistion on the IDE cable. This only happens during the POST and is then set by the time of the OS gets to see the HDD. DOS and Windows couldn’t care less weather the HDD is set to MASTER or SLAVE via a jumper or Cable Selection with the Cable Select jumper.

However it is still best practice to set the drives jumper to Master or Slave manually rather than using Cable Select.

Also ECP and EPP are both backwardly compatable with SPP.
