Audio Controller [AC’97 Audio Only]

The

Audio Controller

option enables or disables the audio controller.

AC’97 Audio Only

EFAULT

The on-board AC’97 audio controller is

enabled.

All Disabled

The on-board audio controller is disabled.

Spread Spectrum Clock [Disabled]

Use the

Spread Spectrum

Clock

option to reduce the EMI. Excess EMI is generated

when the system clock generator pulses have extreme values. Spreading the pulse

spectrum modulates changes in the extreme values from spikes to flat curves, thus

reducing the EMI. This benefit may in some cases be outweighed by problems with

timing-critical devices, such as a clock-sensitive SCSI device.

Disabled D

EFAULT

EMI not reduced

Enabled

EMI reduced

Onboard LAN1 [Enabled]

The

Onboard LAN1

option enables or disables the on-board LAN1.
