[. . . ] This feature only works for operating systems that support multi-processor mode. (Default: Auto) Enables or disables Intel CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E) function, a CPU power-saving function in system halt state. When enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption. (Default: Auto) Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C3/C6 mode in system halt state. When enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption. (Default: Auto) Enables or disables Intel CPU Thermal Monitor function, a CPU overheating protection function. When enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced when the CPU is overheated. (Default: Auto) This item is present only when you install a CPU that supports this feature.

M. P. ) (Note 2) Enables or disables Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST). Depending on CPU loading, Intel EIST technology can dynamically and effectively lower the CPU voltage and core frequency to decrease average power consumption and heat production. Options are: Disabled (default), 60oC/140oF, 70oC/158oF, 80oC/176oF, 90oC/194oF. Allows the system to emit warning sound if the CPU fan or system fan are not connected or fail. (Default: Disabled) Allows you to determine whether to enable the CPU fan speed control function and adjust the fan speed. Normal  Allows the CPU fan to run at different speeds according to the CPU temperature. You can adjust the fan speed with EasyTune based on your system requirements. Manual Allows you to control the CPU fan speed under the Slope PWM item. This item is configurable only when CPU Fan Speed Control is set to Manual. Allows you to determine whether to enable the system fan speed control function and adjust the fan speed. Normal  Allows the system fan to run at different speeds according to the system temperature. You can adjust the fan speed with EasyTune based on your system requirements. Manual Allows you to control the system fan speed under the Slope PWM item. [. . . ] 3. After completing the settings above, move to NEXT and press <Enter> to begin creating the array. When prompted to confirm, press <Y> to confirm or <N> to cancel. To exit the RAID BIOS utility, press <Esc> on the main screen and press <Y> to confirm. Now, you can proceed to install the operating system. Making a SATA RAID/AHCI Driver Diskette Before installing Windows XP, connect a USB floppy disk drive to your computer first because you need to install the SATA RAID/AHCI driver from a floppy disk that contains the driver during the OS installation.
