DRAM RAS# Precharge Time

DRAM must continually be refreshed or it will lose its data. Normally, DRAM is
refreshed entirely as the result of a single request. This option allows you to determine the
number of CPU clocks allocated for Row Address Strobe to accumulate its charge before
the DRAM is refreshed. If insufficient time is allowed, refresh may be incomplete and
data lost.

This item sets the DRAM RAS Precharge Timing. The options are 4 and 3 CLKs.

User's Manual 20

MA Additional Wait State

When enabled, one additional wait state is inserted before the assertion of the first memory
address line MA and CAS/RAS assertion during DRAM read or write leadoff cycles.

RAS To CAS# Delay

When DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are address separately. This setup item
allows you to determine the timing of the transition from Row Address Strobe (RAS) to
Column Address Strobe (CAS). The options are enabled for 3 and disabled for 2 CLKs.

DRAM Read Burst (B/E/F)

This item set the BEDO/EDO/FPM DRAM Read Burst Timing. The timing used
depends on the type of DRAM (EDO burst mode or standard fast page mode) on a per­bank basis. The options are x1/2/3, x2/2/3, x2/3/4 and x3/4/4.

DRAM Write Burst (B/E/F)

The options are x2/2/3, x3/3/3, x3/3/4, x4/4/4 .

ISA Clock

This item allows the user to set ISA clock that divide from PCI clock by 3 or by 4. For
example, if 200MHz Pentium Pro processor is used, PCI clock will be 33MHz, ISA Clock
will be 8.25MHz when PCI clock divided by 4, and 11MHz when PCI clock divided by 3.

DRAM Refresh Queue

When enabled, the chipset's internal 4-deep refresh queue is enabled with 4th request
being the priority request. All refresh requests are queued. If disabled, the refresh queue
is disabled and all refreshes are priority requests.

DRAM RAS Only Refresh

This item allows the user to the RAS only refresh or CAS before RAS refresh.

DRAM ECC/PARITY Select

When using parity DRAM modules, you can select from the options of ECC (Error
Checking and Correcting) or Parity to correct 1 bit memory errors that may occur in the
memory. When using no parity DRAM modules, this function is not available.

or non-cacheable.

Video RAM Cacheable

This item allows the user to set whether the video BIOS C000~C7FF areas are cacheable
or non-cacheable.

8 Bit I/O Recovery Time

The recovery time is the length of time, measured in CPU clocks, which the system will
delay after the completion of an input/output request. This delay takes place because the
CPU is operating so much after than the input/output bus that the CPU must be delayed to
allow for the completion of the I/O.

This item allows you to determine the recovery time allowed for 8 bit I/O. Choices are
from NA, 1 to 8 CPU clocks.

16-Bit I/O Recovery Time

This item allows you to determine the recovery time allowed for 16 bit I/O. Choices are
from NA, 1 to 4 CPU clocks.

PCI IDE IRQ Map to

This items allows you to configure your system to the type of IDE disk controller in use.
By default, Setup assumes that your controller is an ISA device rather than a PCI
controller.

If you have equipped your system with a PCI controller, changing this allows you to
specify which slot has the controller and which PCI interrupt (A, B, C or D) is associated
with the connected hard drives.

Remember that this setting refers to the hard disk drive itself, rather than individual
partitions. Since each IDE controller supports two separate hard disk drivers, you can
select the INT# for each. Again, you will note that the primary has a lower interrupt than
the secondary as described in "Slot x Using INT# " above.

Selecting "PCI Auto" allows the system to automatically determine how your IDE disk
system is configured.

Password Setting

This section describes the two access modes that can be set using the options found on
the Supervisor Password and User Password.

Supervisor Password and User Password

The options on the Password screen menu make it possible to restrict access to the Setup
program by enabling you to set passwords for two different access modes: Supervisor
mode and User mode.

In general, Supervisor mode has full access to the Setup options, whereas User mode has
restricted access to the options. Thus by setting separate Supervisor and User password,
a system supervisor can limit who can change critical Setup values.

Enter Password

Type the password, up to eight characters, and press <Enter>. The password typed now
will clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to
confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press
<Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.

To disable password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter password. A
message will confirm the password being disabled. Once the password is disabled, the
system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.
