Award BIOS Setup Program
27
By choosing the Advanced Chipset Features option from the Standard CMOS Features
menu(Figure 3-1), the screen below is displayed. This sample screen contains the
manufacturer's default values for the mainboard
.
All of the above settings have been determined by the mainboard manufacturer
and should not be changed unless you are absolutely sure of what you are
doing. Explanation of the DRAM timing and chipset features setup is lengthy,
highly technical and beyond the scope of this manual. Below are abbreviated
descriptions of the functions in this setup menu. You can look on the world
wide web for helpful chipset and RAM configuration information including
AWARD's web site athttp://www.award.com.
A. Memory Hole at 15M-16M
Enabling this function will reserve the memory address space between 15MB and
16MB for ISA expansion cards. However, enabling this function will result in
not allowing the system to have access to memory above 16MB. Please note
that some expansion cards require this setting to be enabled. The default setting
is Disabled.is enabled. If Auto Configuration is enabled, you must set the DRAM
timing function to 60ns or 70ns, depeding on the type of DRAM you install.
