[. . . ] Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec) Sets the number of times a second to repeat a keystroke when you hold the key down. settings are: 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, and 30. Typematic Delay (Msec) Sets the delay time after the key is held down before is begins to repeat the keystroke. Security Option This category allows you to limit access to the system and Setup, or just to Setup. System The system will not boot and access to Setup will be denied if the correct password is not entered at the prompt. The 360K The Setup (default) The system will boot, but access to Setup will be denied if the correct password is not entered prompt. OS Select For DRAM > 64MB Allows OS2 to be used with >64MB or DRAM. Settings are Non-OS/2 (default) and OS2. Set to OS/2 if using more than 64MB and running OS/2. 24 3-6 Advanced Chipset Features The Advanced Chipset Features Setup option is used to change the values of the chipset registers. These registers control most of the system options in the computer.

However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. Video BIOS Cacheable Select Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. Memory Hole You can reserve this area of system memory for ISA adapter ROM. When this area is reserved, it cannot be cached. The user information of peripherals that need to use this area of system memory usually discusses their memory requirements. The settings are: Enabled and Disabled. 25 3-6-1 DRAM Timing Settings Phoenix ­ AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility DRAM Timing Settings x x x x x Auto Configuration DRAM CAS Latency RAS Active Time RAS Precharge Time RAS to CAS Delay Bank Interleave DRAM Command Rate Auto CL-2. 5 6T 4T Auto Enabled 2T Item Help Menu Level >> Move Enter:Select +/-/PU/PD:Value F10:Save ESC:Exit F1:General Help F5:Previous Values F6:Optimized Defaults F7:Standard Defaults DRAM CAS Latency When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS latency depends on the DRAM timing. RAS Precharge Time If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete and the DRAM may fail to retain date. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives more stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system. RAS to CAS Delay This field let's you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe signals, used when DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives more stable performance. [. . . ] · To move items by dragging up and down, place the icons one above the other. For ease of use, position the monitor icons to correspond to the physical positions of your monitors. To enable displays Right-click a monitor icon, click Attached, and then click Apply. Repeat for each display that you wish to attach. The selected monitors are attached and available for use. [. . . ]
