[. . . ] Advanced Chipset features > CAS Latency Time When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS latency depends on the DRAM timing. Available options: 2, 2. 5, 3 Advanced Chipset features > DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay This field lets user to insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe signals, used when RAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system. Available options: 2, 3, 4, 5 49 Advanced Chipset features > DRAM RAS# Precharge If an insufficient number of cycles are allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete and the DRAM may fail to retain data. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system. Available options: 2, 3, 4, 5 Advanced Chipset features > Active to Precharge Delay Select the operating system that is active to precharge delay. Available options: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 Advanced Chipset features > System Memory Frequency This item is used to set DRAM timing. Available options: DDR: 333 MHz, DDRII400 MHz, 533 MHz Advanced Chipset features > System BIOS cacheable Allow the system BIOS to be cached to allow faster system performance. Available options: Disabled, Enabled Advanced Chipset features > Video BIOS cacheable Allow the video BIOS to be cached to allow faster video performance. Available options: Disabled, Enabled Advanced Chipset features > Intruder Detection This item allow user to detect the housing is opened or not. It works only when the housing is designed with CASE OPEN cable and connected to motherboard. Available options: Disabled, Enabled Advanced Chipset features > PEG/On Chip VGA Control This item is used to select display first from onboard VGA or PCI ExpressGraphic card. Advanced Chipset features > Boot Display This item is used to set booting display. Available options: Auto, CRT, TV, EFP Advanced Chipset features > Init Display First If you installed a PCI VGA card, this item lets you decide which one is the initial display card. Advanced Chipset features > On-Chip Video Memory Size This item allows user to control the on-chip frame buffer size, fixed memory size, DVMT. Advanced Chipset features > On-Chip Frame Buffer Size Advanced Chipset features > FIXED Memory Size Advanced Chipset features > DVMT Memory Size 50 Advanced Chipset features > TV Format Available options: Auto, NTSC_M, NTSC_M_J, NTSC_433, NTSC_N, PAL_B, PAL_G, PAL_D, PAL_H, PAL_I, PAL_M, PAL_N, PAL_60, SECAM_L, SECAM_L1, SECAM_B, SECAM_D, SECAM_G, SECAM_H, SECAM_K, SECAM_K1. Advanced Chipset features > Delayed PWROK Signal This item is used to add the compatibility between motherboard and power supply for avoiding booting up failed. Available options: 400ms (default) / 300ms / 200ms /100ms / Disabled Integrated Peripherals This submenu appears if you select the option "Integrated Peripherals" from the main menu. This option allows you to configure the I/O features. 51 Integrated peripherals > OnChip IDE Device Integrated peripherals > OnChip IDE Device > On-Chip Serial ATA This item allows you to select work mode between SATA and PATA . Available options: Disabled: Disabled SATA Controller Auto: Auto arrange by BIOS Combined Mode: PATA and SATA are combine. Integrated peripherals > OnChip IDE Device > PATA IDE Mode When On-chip SATA is selected to "Combined Mode" , this item allows you to set PATA to primary or secondary. Integrated peripherals > OnChip IDE Device > SATA Port Integrated peripherals > OnChip IDE Device > On-Chip PATA Setting This parameter allows you to "Enable" or "Disable" the IDE device connected to the primary or secondary IDE connector. 52 Integrated peripherals > SuperIO Device This item allows you to set SuperIO device. [. . . ] Without wizards or steps, all you have to do is to do one click and then it's done. After putting in the CD, you will be prompted with AOpen welcome page and our branches information. First, click on the install driver ICON at left side for necessary drivers. Second, click on the install utility ICON at left side for preferred utilities. [. . . ]
