SDRAM WR Retire Rate
The system designer must select the correct timing for data transfers from the write buffer
to memory, according to DRAM specifications
The choice: 0WS, 1WS.
DRAM Opt RAS Precharge
The precharge time is the number of cycles it takes for the RAS to accumulate its charge
before DRAM refreshes. If insufficient time is allowed, refresh may be incomplete and the
DRAM may fail to retain data. The choice: Enabled, Disabled.
PCI Peer Concurrency
Peer concurrency means that more than one PCI device can be active at a time. The
choice: Enabled, Disabled.
RAS Precharge Time
The precharge time is the number of cycles it takes for the RAS to accumulate its charge
before DRAM refreshes. If insufficient time is allowed, refresh may be incomplete and the
DRAM may fail to retain data.
The Choice: 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T.
RAS to CAS Delay
TWhen DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed separately. This setup
item allows you to determine the timing of the transition from RAS (row address strobe) to
CAS (column address strobe).
The choice: 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T.
ISA Bus Clock Frequency
You can set the speed of the AT bus at one-third or one-fourth of the CPU clock speed.
The choice: 7.159MHz, PCICLK/3, PCICLK/4.
Starting Point of Paging
This value controls the start timing of memory paging operations.
The choice: 1T, 2T, 4T, 8T.
NA# Enable
Selecting Enabled permits pipelining, in which the chipset signals the CPU for a new
memory address before all data transfers for the current cycle are complete, resulting in
faster performance. The choice: Enabled, Disabled.
L2 Cache Burst RD Cycle
These timing numbers are the pattern of cycles the CPU uses to read data from the
cache. The choice: Normal, Delay 1T.
Asyn/Sync Mode CPU/DRAM
This feature can only be enabled when the frequency of CPU clock and the frequency of
DRAM clock are the same and the skew between these two clocks should be zero. The
choice: Asynchronous, Synchronous.
SDRAM CAS Latency
When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS latency
depends on the DRAM timing. Do not reset this field from the default value specified by
the system designer. The choice: 2T, 3T.
SDRAM WR Retire Rate
The system designer must select the correct timing for data transfers from the write buffer
to memory, according to DRAM specifications
The choice: 0WS, 1WS.
DRAM Opt RAS Precharge
The precharge time is the number of cycles it takes for the RAS to accumulate its charge
before DRAM refreshes. If insufficient time is allowed, refresh may be incomplete and the
DRAM may fail to retain data. The choice: Enabled, Disabled.
PCI Peer Concurrency
Peer concurrency means that more than one PCI device can be active at a time. The
choice: Enabled, Disabled.
