[. . . ] By the way, if you need to conduct overclocking manually, you also need to disable the Dynamic OverClocking first. Intel EIST The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allows you to set the performance level of the microprocessor whether the computer is running on battery or AC power. This field will appear after you installed the CPU which support speedstep technology. Adjust CPU FSB Frequency (M Hz) This item allows you to set the CPU FSB frequency (in MHz). Adjusted CPU Frequency (M Hz) It shows the adjusted CPU frequency (FSB x Ratio). Advance DRAM Configuration Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears. 3-22 BIOS Setup MEMORY-Z Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears. DIM M1~4 Memory SPD Infromation Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears. DIM M1~4 Memory SPD Infromation These items display the current status of the current DIMM Memory speed information such as memory type, max bandwidth, manufacture, part number, serial number, SDRAM cycle time, DRAM TCL, DRAM TRCD, DRAM TRP, DRAM TRAS, DRAM TRFC, DRAM TWR, DRAM TWTR, DRAM TRRD and DRAM TRTP. CAS# Latency (CL) This controls the CAS latency, which determines the timing delay (in clock cycles) before SDRAM starts a read command after receiving it. tRCD W hen DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed separately. This setup item allows you to determine the timing of the transition from RAS (row address strobe) to CAS (column address strobe). tRP This setting controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe (RAS) to be allowed to precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, refresh may be incomplete and DRAM may fail to 3-23 M S-7558 M ainboard retain data. This item applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system. tRAS This setting determines the time RAS takes to read from and write to memory cell. Select [1N] makes SDRAM signal controller to run at 1N (N=clock cycles) rate. Advance Memory Setting Setting to [Auto] enables the advance memory timing automatically to be determined by BIOS. TRFC W hen the Adcance M emory Setting sets to [Manual], the field is adjustable. This setting determines the time RFC takes to read from and write to a memory cell. TWR W hen the Adcance M emory Setting sets to [Manual], the field is adjustable. Minimum time interval between end of write data burst and the start of a precharge command. TWTR W hen the Adcance M emory Setting sets to [Manual], the field is adjustable. Minimum time interval between the end of write data burst and the start of a column-read command. It allows I/O gating to overdrive sense amplifiers before read command starts. TRRD W hen the Adcance M emory Setting sets to [Manual], the field is adjustable. [. . . ] You should be prompted to insert a floppy disk containing the JMicron RAID driver into the A: drive. Important Please follow the instruction below to make an "JMicron RAID Driver" for yourself. Copy all the contents in the \\IDE\JMicron\Floppy32 (for 32-bit OS) or \\IDE\JMicron\Floppy64 (for 64-bit OS) to a formatted floppy disk. W hen prompted, insert the floppy disk you created in step 3 and press Enter. The next screen should confirm that you have selected the JMicron RAID controller. [. . . ]
