Power Management Setup
Important
S3-related functions described in this section are available only when your
BIOS supports S3 sleep mode.
ACPI Function
This item is to activate the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Management
Interface) Function. If your operating system is ACPI-aware, such as Windows 2000/
XP, select [Enabled].
ACPI Standby State
This item specifies the power saving modes for ACPI function. If your operating
system supports ACPI, such as Windows 2000/ XP , you can choose to enter the
Standby mode in S1(POS) or S3(STR) fashion through the setting of this field. Settings are:
[S1]The S1 sleep mode is a low power state. In this state, no system
context is lost (CPU or chipset) and hardware maintains all system
context.
[S3]The S3 sleep mode is a lower power state where the in formation of
system configuration and open applications/files is saved to main
memory that remains powered while most other hardware components turn off to save energy. The information stored in memory will
be used to restore the system when a “wake up ” event occurs.

BIOS Setting Password
When you select this function, a message as below will appear on the screen:
Type the password, up to six characters in length, and press <Enter>. The password
typed now will replace any previously set password from CMOS memory. You will
be prompted to confirm the password. Retype the password and press <Enter>. You
may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.
To clear a set password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the
password. A message will show up confirming the password will be disabled. Once
the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup without
entering any password.
When a password has been set, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try
to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your
system configuration.

Current CPU / DRAM Frequency
These items show the current clocks of CPU and Memory speed. Read-only.
Advance DRAM Configuration
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears.
Configure DRAM Timing by SPD
Setting to [Auto] enables DRAM CAS# Latency automatically to be determined by
BIOS based on the configurations on the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) EEPROM
on the DRAM module.

MS-7314 Mainboard
CAS# Latency (CL)
When the Configure DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Manual], the field is
adjustable. This controls the CAS latency, which determines the timing delay (in
clock cycles) before SDRAM starts a read command after receiving it.
tRCD
When the Configure DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Manual], the field is
adjustable. When DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed
separately. This setup item allows you to determine the timing of the transition
from RAS (row address strobe) to CAS (column address strobe). The less the
clock cycles, the faster the DRAM performance.
tRP
When the Configure DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Manual], this field is
adjustable. This setting controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe
(RAS) to be allowed to precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for the RAS to
accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, refresh may be incomplete and
DRAM may fail to retain data. This item applies only when synchronous DRAM is
installed in the system.
tRAS
When the Configure DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Manual], this field is
adjustable. This setting determines the time RAS takes to read from and write to
memory cell.
FSB/DRAM Ratio
This item will allow you to adjust the ratio of FSB to memory.
Auto Disable DRAM/PCI Frequency
When set to [Enabled], the system will remove (turn off) clocks from empty DIMM and
PCI slots to minimize the electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Spread Spectrum
When the mainboard’s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes) of the
pulses create EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). The Spread Spectrum function
reduces the EMI generated by modulating the pulses so that the spikes of the pulses
are reduced to flatter curves. If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at
Disabled for optimal system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI,
set to Enabled for EMI reduction. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are
overclocking because even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock
speed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up.

Important
1.If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at [Disabled] for
optimal system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI,
select the value of Spread Spectrum for EMI reduction.
2.The greater the Spread Spectrum value is, the greater the EMI is reduced,
and the system will become less stable. For the most suitable Spread
Spectrum value, please consult your local EMI regulation.
3.Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because
even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock speed which
may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up.
