4. BIOS Setup

4.5.1 Auto Configuration

This item allows you to select pre-determined optimal values for DRAM, cache and timing
according to CPU type & system clock.  The choice: Enabled, Disabled.

Note:

 When this item is enabled, the pre-defined items will become SHOW-ONLY

4.5.2 RAS Pulse Width Refresh

Leave on default setting.

4.5.3 RAS Precharge Time

This controls the idle clocks after issuing a precharge command to SDRAM.  Leave on
default setting, which is controlled by SPD.

4.5.4 RAS to CAS Delay

This controls the latency between SDRAM active command and the read/write command.
Leave on default setting, which is controlled by SPD.

4.5.5 Concurrent function(MEM)

If each bus master cycle does not take the same path, it allows the multiple bus master
cycles to be acted at the same time.

4.5.6 Concurrent function(PCI)

If each bus master cycle does not take the same path, it allows the multiple bus master
cycles to be acted at the same time.

4.5.7 CPU Pipeline Control

Enable/disable the CPU pipeline control.  The choice: Enabled, Disabled.

4.5.8 Starting Point of Paging

This value controls the start timing of memory paging operations.  The choice: 1T, 2T, 4T,
8T.

4.5.9 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: X-1-1-1, X-2-2-2.

4.5.10 CPU to PCI Burst Mem. WR

Select enabled permits PCI burst memory write cycles, for faster performance.  When
