PS/2 Mouse Support 

Enable this item if you plan to use a PS/2 mouse. 

Password Check 

If you have entered a password for the system, use this item to determine, if 
the password is required to enter the Setup Utility (

Setup

) or required both at 

start-up and to enter the Setup Utility (

Always

). 

L2 Cache 

Leave these items enabled since all the processors that can be installed on 
this board have internal L2 cache memory. 

System BIOS Cacheable 

If you enable this item, a segment of the system BIOS will be copied to main 
memory for faster execution. 

SDRAM Timing By SPD  

This item allows you to enable or disable the SDRAM timing defined by the 
Serial Presence Detect electrical. 

SDRAM CAS# Latency 

This item determines the operation of SDRAM memory CAS (column address 
strobe). It is recommended that you leave this item at the default value. The 
2T setting requires faster memory that specifically supports this mode.  

SDRAM RAS# Precharge  

Select the number of CPU clocks allocated for the Row Address Strobe 
(RAS#) signal to accumulate its charge before the SDRAM is refreshed. If 
insufficient time is allowed, refresh may be incomplete and data lost. 

SDRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay 

This field lets you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe sig-
nals, used when SDRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Disabled gives 
faster performance; and Enabled gives more stable performance. 

SDRAM RAS# Precharge Delay 

The precharge time is the number of cycles it takes for SDRAM to accumulate 
its charge before refresh. 

Auto detect DIMM/PCI Clock 

When this item is enabled, BIOS will disable the clock signal of free DIMM/PCI 
slots.  

CLK Spread Spectrum 

Use this item to set the system bus spread spectrum for the installed proces-
sor.
