memory

These DIMM slots are intended for memory modules.

Installing Memory Modules

Locate the DIMM1 SO-DIMM slot. Align the notch on the DIMM with the
key on the slot and insert the DIMM into the slot at 45-degree angle.

Push the DIMM gently forwards until the slot levers click and lock the
DIMM in place. Follow the same procedures to install the second DIMM
if necessary.

To uninstall the DIMM, ip the slot levers outwards and the DIMM will
be released instantly.

Important

You can barely see the golden nger if the DIMM is properly inserted in the
DIMM slot.

Max CPUID Value Limit

The Max CPUID Value Limit BIOS feature allows you to circumvent prob­lems with older operating systems that do not support the Intel Pentium 4
processor with Hyper-Threading Technology. When enabled, the processor
will limit the maximum CPUID input value to 03h when queried, even if
the processor supports a higher CPUID input value. When disabled, the
processor will return the actual maximum CPUID input value of the proces­sor when queried.

Execute Disable Bit Capability

Intel’s Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of mali-

cious “buffer overow” attacks when combined with a supporting operating

system. This functionality allows the processor to classify areas in memory
by where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a mali­cious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables
code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.

Hyper Threading Technology

The processor uses Hyper Threading technology to increase transaction
rates and reduces end-user response times. The technology treats the two
cores inside the processor as two logical processors that can execute in­structions simultaneously. In this way, the system performance is highly
improved. If you disable the function, the processor will use only one core
to execute the instructions. Please disable this item if your operating sys­tem doesn’t support HT Function, or unreliability and instability may occur.

Intel(R) SpeedStep(tm) Tech

EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) allows the system to dy­namically adjust processor voltage and core frequency, which can result
in decreased average power consumption and decreased average heat
production.

It is recommended that you set this BIOS feature to DVMT Mode for maxi-

mum performance. Setting it to DVMT Mode ensures that system memory
is dynamically allocated for optimal balance between graphics and system
performance.

When set to DVMT/FIXED Mode, the graphics driver will allocate a

D0

Go to at mode with 4GB limit and GA20 enabled. Verify the bootblock

checksum.

D2

Disable CACHE before memory detection. Execute full memory sizing

module. Verify that at mode is enabled.

D3

If memory sizing module not executed, start memory refresh and do mem­ory sizing in Bootblock code. Do additional chipset initialization. Re-en-

able CACHE. Verify that at mode is enabled.

D4

Test base 512KB memory. Adjust policies and cache rst 8MB. Set

stack.

D5

Bootblock code is copied from ROM to lower system memory and control
is given to it. BIOS now executes out of RAM.

D6

Both key sequence and OEM specic method is checked to determine if

BIOS recovery is forced. Main BIOS checksum is tested. If BIOS recovery

is necessary, control ows to checkpoint E0. See Bootblock Recovery

Code Checkpoints section of document for more information.

D7

Restore CPUID value back into register. The Bootblock-Runtime interface
module is moved to system memory and control is given to it. Determine

whether to execute serial ash.

D8

The Runtime module is uncompressed into memory. CPUID information
is stored in memory.

D9

Store the Uncompressed pointer for future use in PMM. Copying Main
BIOS into memory. Leaves all RAM below 1MB Read-Write including E000
and F000 shadow areas but closing SMRAM.

DA

module. Disables the system conguration display if needed.

A4 Initialize runtime language module.

A7

Displays the system conguration screen if enabled. Initialize the CPU’s

before boot, which includes the programming of the MTRR’s.

A8 Prepare CPU for OS boot including nal MTRR values.

A9 Wait for user input at cong display if needed.

AA

Uninstall POST INT1Ch vector and INT09h vector. Deinitializes the ADM
module.

AB Prepare BBS for Int 19 boot.

AC End of POST initialization of chipset registers.

B1 Save system context for ACPI.

00 Passes control to OS Loader (typically INT19h).
