[. . . ] This option specifies the length of a delay inserted between consecutive 8 bit I/O operations. For an earlier 8 bit Add-on card, sometimes you need to adjust its recovery time to make it work normal. 3-20 Chapter 3 16 Bit I/O Recovery Time: Five options are available: NA $ 4 $ 1 $ 2 $ 3 $ Back to NA. This option specifies the length of a delay inserted between consecutive 16 bit I/O operations. For an earlier 16 bit Add-on card, sometimes you need to adjust its recovery time to make it work normal. Memory Hole At 15M-16M: This option is used to free up the 15M-16M memory block. Some special peripherals need to use a memory block located between 15M and 16M, and this memory block has a size of 1M. We recommend that you disable this option. Passive Release : Two options are available: Enabled and Disabled. Set the option to enabled or disabled passive release for the Intel PIIX4 chip (Intel PCI to ISA bridge). This function is used to meet the latency of the ISA bus master, if you have an ISA card compatibility problem, you can try to enable or disable this option for optimal result. Delayed Transaction: Two options are available: Enabled and Disabled. Set the option to enabled or disabled delayed transaction for the Intel PIIX4 chip. This function is used to meet the latency of PCI cycles to or from the ISA bus. This option must be enabled to provide PCI 2. 1 compliance. If you have ISA card compatibility problem, you can try to enable or disable this option for optimal result. AGP Aperture Size (MB): Seven options are available: 4 $ 8 $ 16 $ 32 $ 64 $ 128 $ 256 $ Back to 4. This option specifies the amount of system memory that can be used by the AGP device. The aperture is a portion of the PCI memory address range dedicated for graphics memory address space. SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay: Two options are available: Slow or Fast. This option specifies the length of the inserted between the RAS and CAS signal of the DRAM system memory access cycle if SDRAM is installed. The setting will affects SDRAM performance, the default setting is Slow. Introduction of BIOS 3-21 SDRAM RAS Precharge Time: Two options are available: Slow or Fast. This option specifies the length of the RAS precharge part of the DRAM system memory access cycle when SDRAM system memory is installed. The default setting is Slow. SDRAM CAS latency Time: Two options are available: 2 and 3. You can select SDRAM CAS (Column Address Strobe) latency time according your SDRAM specification. Spread Spectrum Modulated: Four options are available: Disable$0. 50%(CNTR)$0. 5%(DOWN). For EMC (Electro-Magnetic Compatibility Test) testing may need to adjust these options for optimal result, we do not recommend you change the default, except for special reasons. Some values you select may cause system instability under some situations, please be careful. There are small differences in the chipset feature setup according to different motherboard models, but this has no influence upon performance. [. . . ] If you still cannot start, note down the information related to both cards in the add-on Card space provided, and don't forget to indicate the motherboard model, version, BIOS identification number, CPU (refer to main instructions), and give a description of the problem. F-2 Appendix F $ Example 2: With a system including the motherboard (with CPU, DRAM, COAST. . . ) HDD, CD-ROM, FDD, VGA CARD, LAN CARD, MPEG CARD, SCSI CARD, SOUND CARD, after assembly and after having installed the Sound Card Driver, when you restart the system, when it runs the Sound Card Driver, it resets automatically. This problem may be due to the Sound Card Driver. procedure, press SHIFT (BY-PASS) key, to skip CONFIG. SYS and AUTOEXEC. BAT; edit CONFIG. SYS with a text editor, and in function the line that loads the Sound Card Driver, add a remark REM, in order to disable the Sound Card Driver. CONFIG. SYS: DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM. SYS DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386. EXE HIGHSCAN DOS=HIGH, UMB FILES=40 BUFFERS=36 REM DEVICEHIGH=C:\PLUGPLAY\DWCFGMG. SYS LASTDRIVE=Z Restart the system. [. . . ]
