BIOS SETUP Configurable TDP Boot Mode Configurable TDP Boot Mode as Nominal/Up/Down/Deactivate TDP selection. Deactivate option will set MSR to Nominal and MMIO to Zero. Configurable TDP Lock Configurable TDP Lock sets the Lock bits on TURBO_ACTIVATION_RATIO and CONFIG_TDP_CONTROL. Note: When CTDP Lock is enabled Custom ConfigTDP Count will be forced to 1 and Custom ConfigTDP Boot Index will be forced to 0.
DRIVERS INSTALLATION Device power-up delay Maximum time the device will take before it properly reports itself to the Host Controller. ‘Auto’ uses default value: for a Root port it is 100ms, for a Hub port the delay is taken from Hub descriptor. Chipset Settings This section allows you to configure and improve your system and allows you to set up some system features according to your preference.

APPENDIX Appendix A. I/O Port Address Map Each peripheral device in the system is assigned a set of I/O port addresses which also becomes the identity of the device. The following table lists the I/O port addresses used. Address Device Description 0000h-0CF7h PCI Express Root Complex 0040h-0043h...
APPENDIX B. Interrupt Request Lines (IRQ) Peripheral devices use interrupt request lines to notify CPU for the service required. The following table shows the IRQ used by the devices on board. Level Function IRQ0 System Timer IRQ1 Keyboard Fintek Communications Port(COM2) IRQ3 IRQ4 Fintek Communications Port(COM1)
APPENDIX C. Watchdog Timer Configuration The WDT is used to generate a variety of output signals after a user programmable count. The WDT is suitable for use in the prevention of system lock-up, such as when software becomes trapped in a deadlock. Under these sorts of circumstances, the timer will count to zero and the selected outputs will be driven.
