CMOS Clearing
CMOS Clear, which is a safety hook if you forget the password. Sometime , if
user change the CPU and making the BIOS difficult to recognize the CPU
type, Clear CMOS will help BIOS to re-config the system successfully .
Follow the steps:
After you have turned off your computer, clear the CMOS memory by momentarily shorting pins 2-3, for a few seconds. Then restore it to the initial
1-2 jumper setting in order to recover and retain the default settings. Reset
your computer now.
J11 ( 66MHZ / 100 MHZ Switching )
If overclock the CPU from 66MHZ to 100 MHZ on the jumperless design mother
board the following symptom will happen:
The AGP card will run 100 MHZ with the AGP Clock, inside the AGP
Chip will run up to 200MHZ ( For 2x AGP Card ) instead of the
66MHZ x 2 = 133MHZ
That¡¦s because the CPU origonal is 66MHZ FSB design by Intel, When you
overclock the CPU to 100MHZ, the Chipset didn¡¦t know you force the Clock
to 100MHZ by BIOS, it will let the 100MHZ as AGP Clock. If you use the
66MHZ for that CPU, the AGP Card clock will be 66MHZ; If you use the
origonal 100 MHZ FSB CPU , the Chipset recognized the CPU is 100MHZ
FSB design, it will reduce the 100MHZ / 1.5 = 66MHZ, then the AGP will run
66MHZ( Inside AGP will be 66MHZ x 2 = 133 MHZ ).
If use the 100MHZ FSB,
Regardless use the 66MHZ or 100MHZ type CPU
Set the J11 to OFF.

This category determines which drive to search first for the disk operating
system (i.e., DOS). Default value is A,C.
C,A First search for hard disk drive then floppy disk drive.
A,C First search for floppy disk drive then hard disk drive.
CDROM, C, A System will first search for CDROM drive, then hard disk drive
and the next is floppy disk drive.
C, CDROM, A System will first search for hard disk drive , then CDROM
drive, and the next is floppy disk drive.
Swap Floppy Drive
This item allows you to determine whether enable the swap floppy drive or
not. The choice: Enabled/Disabled.
Boot Up Floppy Seek
During POST, BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive installed is 40 or 80
tracks. 360K type is 40 tracks while 760K, 1.2M and 1.44M are all 80 tracks.
Enabled BIOS searches for floppy disk drive to determine if it is 40 or
80 tracks. Note that BIOS can not tell from 720K, 1.2M or
1.44M drive type as they are all 80 tracks.
Disabled BIOS will not search for the type of floppy disk drive by track
number.

T ypematic Rate Setting
This determines if the typematic rate is to be used. When disabled, continually holding down a key on your keyboard will generate only one instance. In
other words, the BIOS will only report that the key is down. When the typematic
rate is enabled, the BIOS will report as before, but it will then wait a moment,
and, if the key is still down, it will begin the report that the key has been depressed repeatedly . For example, you would use such a feature to accelerate
cursor movements with the arrow keys.
Enabled Enable typematic rate
Disabled Disable typematic rate
T ypematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
When the typematic rate is enabled, this selection allows you select the rate at
which the keys are accelerated.

The Chipset Features Setup” includes settings for the chipset dependent
features. These features are related to system performance. It is highly
recommended that the items are optimal setting for this Main-Board. Y ou should
not change them unless you are familiar with the chipset. Make sure you fully
understand the items before you try to change anything. Y ou may change the
parameter settings to improve system performance. However, it may cause
system unstable if the settings are not correct for your system configuration.
Once you change the setting and not sure which one will be better parameter,
please load the BIOS default by press F6 or load the SETUP default by press
F7.
SDRAM RAS-to-CAS delay
They are important parameters that affect the SDRAM performance. If your
SDRAM has unstable problem, change 2/2 to 3/3.
