SDRAM Configuration [By SPD]
This parameter allows you to set the optimal timings for items 2–5, depending
on the memory modules that you are using. The default setting is [By SPD],
which configures items 2–5 by reading the contents in the SPD (Serial
Presence Detect) device. The EEPROM on the memory module stores critical
information about the module, such as memory type, size, speed, voltage
interface, and module banks. Configuration options: [User Defined] [By SPD]
