[. . . ] [Default is Enabled] Refers to the method that the system addresses memory above 1MB. [Default is Normal] Sets whether the keyboard input speed should be altered. [Default is Disabled] If above setting is Enabled, this sets the characters per second of keyboard input. [Default is 6] If above setting is Enabled, this sets the delay on character input from keyboard. [Default is Enabled] Boot Up Floppy Seek Boot Up Numlock Status Gate A20 Option Typematic Rate Setting Typematic Rate Typematic Delay Security Option PS/2 Mouse Function Control MPS Version Control for OS Reserved. [Default is 1. 1] OS Select for DRAM > 64MB If your OS requires this setting, it can be altered from here. [Default is Auto] Allows the BIOS to report to Win95 that no FDD exists (if this is the case). Mode Report no FDD Video BIOS Shadow C800-CBFFF Shadow to DC000-DFFFF Shadow Reserved. [Default is Enabled] EPA Logo Select Provides the options for the EPA logo. [Default is LOGO-0] Report no FDD Provides the option to show the smaller EPA logo. [Default is Off] 34 http://www. tyan. com 3. 4 Advanced Chipset Features This section describes the settings for the chipset installed on this motherboard. Please note that the parameters described in this section are for technically competent users only. Do not change these values unless you completely understand the consequences of your changes. Bank 0/1 to Bank 6/7 DRAM Timing DRAM Clock Settings depend on type of memory installed, and therefore these settings are reserved. [Default is HOST-CLK] SDRAM Cycle Length Sets the CAS latency timing. [Default is Disabled] Bank Interleave Memory Hole Specifies the location of an area or memory that cannot be addressed on the ISA bus. [Default is Disabled] If Enabled, the PCI/AGP Master to CPU cycle can be concurrent if the Host CPU is performing R/W access to the PCI or slave devices. [Default is Enabled] Sets ability to cache system BIOS ROM at F0000h-FFFFFh. [Default is Disabled] The aperture is a portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated for graphics memory address space. [Default is 64M] Enables the 4X AGP mode (requires a 4X-capable AGP card). [Default is Enabled] Some AGP cards require setting this option, otherwise this option is reserved. [Default is Auto] This function is generally reserved for manufacturer use. [. . . ] This memory is available to any program running on the computer. ROM (Read-Only Memory): a storage chip which contains the BIOS; the basic instructions required to boot the computer and start up the operating system. SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic RAM): called as such because it can keep two sets of memory addresses open simultaneously. By transferring data alternately from one set of addresses and then the other, SDRAM cuts down on the delays associated with non-synchronous RAM, which must close one address bank before opening the next. Serial port: called as such because it transmits the eight bits of a byte of data along one wire, and receives data on another single wire (that is, the data is transmitted in serial form, one bit after another). Tiger 230T S2507T 53 SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module): formerly the most common form of RAM for motherboards. They must be installed in pairs, and do not have the carrying capacity or the speed of DIMMs. Sleep/Suspend mode: in this mode, all devices except the CPU shut down. SRAM (Static RAM): unlike DRAM, this type of RAM does not need to be refreshed in order to prevent data loss. Thus, it is faster, and more expensive. Standby mode: in this mode, the video and fixed disk drive (usually the HDD) shuts down; all other devices continue to operate normally. Striping: see RAID. UltraDMA/33/66/100: a fast version of the old DMA channel. [. . . ]
