[. . . ] Automatic mode allows the BIOS to enable all CPU cores (number of cores available depends on the CPU being used). (Default: Automatic mode) && APM  Enables or disables Application Power Management. (Default: Enabled) && Extreme Memory Profile (X. M. P. ) (Note 2) Allows the BIOS to read the SPD data on XMP memory module(s) to enhance memory performance when enabled.  Allows the BIOS to read the SPD data on AMP memory module(s) to enhance memory performance when enabled. (Default: Auto) This value is automatically adjusted according to the BCLK/PCIe Clock Control and System Memory Multiplier settings. && AMD Memory Profile (A. M. P. ) (Note 2) && System Memory Multiplier && Memory Frequency (MHz) `` Advanced Memory Settings &&  xtreme Memory Profile (X. M. P. ) (Note 2), System Memory Multiplier, Memory Frequency(MHz) E The settings above are synchronous to those under the same items on the Advanced Frequency Settings menu. (Note 1) This item is present only when you install a CPU that supports this feature. (Note 2) This item is present only when you install a CPU and a memory module that support this feature. - 19 - && DRAM Timing Selectable && Profile DDR Voltage Quick and Expert allows the memory timing settings below to be configurable. Options are: Auto (default), Quick, Expert. && Profile VTT Voltage When using a non-XMP memory module or Extreme Memory Profile (X. M. P. ) is set to Disabled, this item will display as 1. 50V. When Extreme Memory Profile (X. M. P. ) is set to Profile1 or Profile2, this item will display the value based on the SPD data on the XMP memory. The value displayed here is dependent on the CPU being used. && Channel Interleaving && Rank Interleaving Enables or disables memory channel interleaving. Enabled allows the system to simultaneously access different channels of the memory to increase memory performance and stability. Enabled allows the system to simultaneously access different ranks of the memory to increase memory performance and stability. (Default: Enabled) `` Channel A/B Timing Settings This sub-menu provides memory timing settings for each channel of memory. The respective timing setting screens are configurable only when DRAM Timing Selectable is set to Quick or Expert. Note: Your system may become unstable or fail to boot after you make changes on the memory timings. If this occurs, please reset the board to default values by loading optimized defaults or clearing the CMOS values. `` Advanced Voltage Settings `` PC Health Status && Reset Case Open Status This sub-menu allows you to set CPU and memory voltages. && Case Open Disabled  Keeps or clears the record of previous chassis intrusion status. (Default) Enabled   Clears the record of previous chassis intrusion status and the Case Open field will show "No" at next boot. && CPU Vcore/Dram Voltage/+3. 3V/+5V/+12V Displays the detection status of the chassis intrusion detection device attached to the motherboard CI header. If the system chassis cover is removed, this field will show "Yes", otherwise it will show "No". To clear the chassis intrusion status record, set Reset Case Open Status to Enabled, save the settings to the CMOS, and then restart your system. Displays the current system voltages. && CPU/System Temperature && CPU/System Fan Speed Displays current CPU/system temperature. Displays current CPU/system fan speeds. && CPU Warning Temperature && CPU/System Fan Fail Warning Sets the warning threshold for CPU temperature. When CPU temperature exceeds the threshold, BIOS will emit warning sound. [. . . ] Installing Windows XP Restart your system to boot from the Windows XP setup disk and press <F6> as soon as you see the message "Press F6 if you need to install a 3rd party SCSI or RAID driver. " Insert the floppy disk containing the SATA RAID/AHCI driver. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver that suits your operating system. Installing Windows 8/7/Vista (The following instructions use Windows 8 as the example operating system. ) Boot from the Windows 8 setup disk and perform standard OS installation steps. When the screen requesting you to load the driver appears, select Browse. [. . . ]
