You can select RAS to CAS Delay time in HCLKs of 2/2 or 3/3. The system board 
designer should set the values in this field, depending on the DRAM installed. Do 
not change the values in this field unless you change specifications of the installed 
DRAM or the installed CPU.  The Choice: 2, 3. 

 

SDRAM RAS Precharge Time   

Defines the length of time for Row Address Strobe is allowed to precharge.  The
