Details of Chipset Features Setup

EDO Auto Configuration (60ns DRAM)
For EDO DRAM only
The default setting of 60ns DRAM sets the optimal timings for items 2 through 5 for
60ns DRAM modules. If you are using 70ns DRAM modules, you must change this
item to 70ns DRAM. See 2. System Memory in section III for DRAM installation
information.
SDRAM Configuration (12ns SDRAM)
For SDRAM only
This sets the optimal timings of settings for items 2–5, depending on the memory
modules that you are using. This 8-pin serial EEPROM device stores critical param-
eter information about the module, such as memory type, size, speed, voltage inter-
face, and module banks. The default setting is 12ns SDRAM. If your DIMM mod-
ules are all 10ns SDRAM, you may set this to 10ns SDRAM.
SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (Auto)
This controls the latency between SDRAM active command and the read/write com-
mand. Leave on default setting.
SDRAM RAS Precharge Time (Auto)
This controls the idle clocks after issuing a precharge command to SDRAM. Leave
on default setting.
MA Wait State (Auto)
This controls the leadoff clocks for CPU read cycles. Leave on default setting.
SDRAM Banks Close Policy (Page-Miss)
Leave on default setting.
