[. . . ] Chipset Features Setup Menu The Chipset Features Setup Menu is used to modify the contents of the buffers in the chipset on the motherboard. Since the parameters of the buffers are closely related to hardware, if the setup is not correct or is false, the motherboard will become unstable or you will not be able to boot up. If you don't know the hardware very well, use default values (i. e. Chipset Features Setup You can use the arrow keys to move between the items. When you have finished setting up the chipset, press ESC to go back to the main menu. SDRAM CAS latency Time: Two options are available: 2 and 3. You can select SDRAM CAS (Column Address Strobe) latency time according your SDRAM specification. SDRAM Precharge Control: Two options are available: Enabled and Disabled. This option specifies the length of the RAS precharge part of the DRAM system memory access cycle when SDRAM system memory is installed on the motherboard. The default setting is Disabled. User's Manual 3-18 Chapter3 DRAM Data Integrity Mode: Two options are available: Non-ECC or ECC. ECC is Error Checking and Correction, when your memory is ECC memory, choose the ECC option. System BIOS Cacheable: You can select Enable or Disable. When you select Enabled, you get faster system BIOS executing speed via the L2 cache. Video BIOS Cacheable: You can select Enable or Disable. When you select Enabled, you get faster video BIOS executing speed via the L2 cache. Video RAM Cacheable: You can select Enable or Disable. When you select Enabled, you get faster video RAM executing speed via the L2 cache. You must check your VGA adapter manual to find out if any compatibility problems will occur. 8 Bit I/O Recovery Time: Nine options are available: NA ( 8 ( 1 ( 2 ( 3 ( 4 ( 5 ( 6 ( 7 (Back to NA. This option specifies the length of a delay inserted between consecutive 8 bit I/O operations. For an earlier 8 bit Add-on card, sometimes you need to adjust its recovery time to make it work normally. 16 Bit I/O Recovery Time: Five options are available: NA ( 4 ( 1 ( 2 ( 3 ( Back to NA. This option specifies the length of a delay inserted between consecutive 16 bit I/O operations. For an earlier 16 bit Add-on card, sometimes you need to adjust its recovery time to make it work normally. Memory Hole At 15M-16M: This option is used to free up the memory block 15M-16M. Some special peripherals need to use a memory block located between 15M and 16M, and this memory block has a size of 1M. BE6 Introduction of the BIOS 3-19 Passive Release: Two options are available: Enabled and Disabled. Set the option to enabled or disabled passive release for the Intel PIIX4 chip (Intel PCI to ISA bridge). This function is used to meet the latency of the ISA bus master, if you have an ISA card compatibility problem, you can try to enable or disable this option for optimal result. Delayed Transaction: Two options are available: Enabled and Disabled. Set the option to enabled or disabled delayed transaction for the Intel PIIX4 chip. [. . . ] procedure, press SHIFT (BY-PASS) key, to skip CONFIG. SYS and AUTOEXEC. BAT; edit CONFIG. SYS with a text editor, and in function the line that loads the Sound Card Driver, add a remark REM, in order to disable the Sound Card Driver. CONFIG. SYS: DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM. SYS DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386. EXE HIGHSCAN DOS=HIGH, UMB FILES=40 BUFFERS=36 REM DEVICEHIGH=C:\PLUGPLAY\DWCFGMG. SYS LASTDRIVE=Z Restart the system. If the system starts and does not reset, you can be sure that the problem is due to the Sound Card Driver. Note down the Sound Card model, motherboard model, BIOS identification number on the technical support file (refer to main instructions), and describe the problem in the space provided. [. . . ]
