Serial Port 2 IRQ

This reports the IRQ number for serial port 2. This is informational only, and there are no options. If the Serial Port 2 Address field is set to Disabled, this field will not be visible.

Parallel Port IRQ

This reports the IRQ number for the parallel port. This is informational only, and there are no options. If the Parallel Port Address field is set to Disabled, this field will not be visible.

ADVANCED CHIPSET CONFIGURATION SUBMENU

Base Memory Size

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to set the size of the base memory. The options are 512 KB and 640 KB. The default is 640 KB.

ISA LFB Size

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to set the size of the video linear frame buffer. The options are Disabled or 1 MB. The default is Disabled. If this is not set to Disabled, then the ISA LFB Base Address field will appear.

ISA LFB Base Address

This reports the base address of the LFB. This is informational only, and there are no options. This field will not appear if the ISA LFB Size is set to Disabled.

Video Palette Snoop

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to control the ability of a PCI graphics card to “snoop” write cycles to an ISA graphics card’s color pallet registers. The options are Enabled and Disabled. The default is Disabled. Note: Some video capture or TV tuner add-in boards may require this feature to be enabled. Depending on hardware limitations, this item may not appear.

Latency Timer (PCI Clocks)

When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to control the time and agent on the PCI bus can hold the bus when another agent has requested the bus. The valid numbers are between 0 and 256. The default is 66.

PCI Burst

This enables or disables support for PCI/memory burst mode data transfers. The options are Enabled or Disabled. The default is Enabled. PCI burst mode allows higher throughput of data between the PCI bus and memory. Not all cards are capable of utilizing this enhanced data transfer mode. Some cards may act unpredictably with PCI burst mode enabled. If you are having problems with a PCI add in card, PCI Burst mode should be disabled.

SIMM Type Detection

This reports the type of DRAM installed in each of the two memory banks: Fast Page Mode, Extended Data Out Mode, or None. This is informational only, and there are no options.

POWER MANAGEMENT CONFIGURATION

Power Management Configuration enables or disables the Advanced Power Management (APM) support in your system’s BIOS. Power Management will only work with APM-capable operating systems to manage power consumption in your system. If Advanced Power Management is set to Disabled, none of the fields in the Advanced Power Management submenu will be visible.
