[. . . ] FCC Compliance Statement: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installations. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular Eric Lu installation. [. . . ] During DRAM reads, the MCH supports detection of single-bit and multiple-bit errors, and will correct single bit errors when correction is enabled. The MCH will automatically scrub single bit errors by writing the corrected value back into DRAM when scrubbing is enabled. ECC can only be enabled when the Direct RDRAMs support the extra two data bits used to store the ECC code. The MCH provides a maximum DRAM address decode space of 4GB. The MCH does not remap APIC memory space in hardware. It is the BIOS or system designers responsibility to limit DRAM population so that adequate PCI, AGP, High BIOS, and APIC memory space can be allocated. 51 BIOS Setup $ Page Index for BIOS Setup The Main Menu Standard CMOS Setup BIOS Features Setup Chipset Features Setup Power Management Setup PNP/ PCI Configuration Load BIOS Defaults Load Setup Defaults Integrated Peripherals Hardware Monitor Setup Supervisor / User Password IDE HDD Auto Detection Save & Exit Setup Exit Without Saving Page P. 54 P. 57 P. 60 P. 62 P. 64 P. 68 P. 70 P. 71 P. 72 P. 76 P. 78 P. 79 P. 80 P. 81 52 6CX7 Series Motherboard BIOS Setup BIOS Setup is an overview of the BIOS Setup Program.
