Windows Server 2008 turns off the idle IDE channel

Normally, when we start Windows Server 2008, the operating system will automatically load all the hardware installed in the corresponding host. This loading process will often It will drag down the normal startup speed of the system, and it will also consume a lot of valuable system resources. In fact, many hardware installed in the Windows Server 2008 system are rarely used, and these idle hardware can be temporarily shut down. Effectively improve the startup efficiency and operating efficiency of Windows Server 2008 system.

For example, when we enter the device manager interface in the Windows Server 2008 system environment, from the interface to expand the branch option "IDE ATA /ATAPI controller", we may be able to find that the corresponding system contains two IDE channel, these two IDE channels are called the main IDE channel and the secondary IDE channel under the traditional operating system; however, in the Windows Server 2008 working environment, there is no distinction between the main IDE channel and the secondary IDE channel. Since many users only have one hard disk device installed in their computer, we can temporarily shut down another IDE channel that is not used by appropriate settings, so as to save valuable resources and improve system startup speed.

To close a target IDE channel, we can first open the Device Manager list interface of Windows Server 2008 system, find the IDE channel option that needs to be closed, and right click on the option. And execute the "Properties" command in the right-click menu to enter the property setting interface of the corresponding IDE channel; click the "Advanced Settings" tab in the property setting interface to open the option setting page as shown in the figure; here, we can Clearly see the specific working mode of the current IDE hard disk device. Once the IDE channel is confirmed to be idle, execute the “Uninstall” command in the right-click menu, so that the idle IDE channel can be temporarily turned off.

According to the same steps, we can also use other hardware devices that are rarely used in the Windows Server 2008 system environment, which can be improved to a greater extent. The operating efficiency of the Windows Server 2008 system.
