DRAM Timing Selectable The first chipset settings deal with CPU access to dynamic random access memory (DRAM). chosen and should only be altered if data is being lost. Such a scenario might well occur if the system had mixed speed DRAM chips installed so that greater delays may be required to preserve the integrity of the data held in the slower memory chips.

Appendix A. Watchdog Timer The Watchdog Timer is provided to ensure that standalone systems can always recover from catastrophic conditions that cause the CPU to crash. This condition may have occurred by external EMI or a software bug. When the CPU stops working correctly, hardware on the board will either perform a hardware reset (cold boot) or a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) to bring the system back to a known state.

4. Reboot the system to the DOS command prompt using the boot diskette you just made. 5. At the DOS command prompt type , "awdflash filename.xxx", where filename.xxx is the file name of the BIOS file . Hit enter. 6. Your first option, in sequence, will be to save the old BIOS. We recommend that you do that in case, for whatever reason, you decide you don't wish to use the new version once it is installed.

This is the critical step. Once you kit the enter key, do NOT touch the keyboard, the reset button, or power switch while the flashing is in progress. There will be bar progressing across the screen while the flashing is progressing.
Appendix D. AGP slot This IPC CPU Card has an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) slot that supports +1.5V AGP card. When you buy an AGP card, make sure that you ask for one with +1.5V specification. Note the notches on the card golden fingers to ensure that they fit the AGP slot on your ICP CPU card.
