￿UIO PCI-Exp. x8, Slot1 PCI-X 133 MHz, Slot2 PCI-Exp. x4, Slot3 PCI-Exp x8, Slot4 PCI-Exp x8, Slot5 PCI-Exp x8, and Slot6 PCI-Exp x8

Access the submenu for each of the settings above to make changes to the following:

Option ROM Scan

When enabled, this setting will initialize the device expansion ROM. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Enable Master

This setting allows you to enable the selected device as the PCI bus master. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Latency Timer

This setting allows you to set the clock rate for the Bus Master. A high-priority, high-throughout device may benefi t from a greater clock rate. The options are Default, 0020h, 0040h, 0060h, 0080h, 00A0h, 00C0h, and 00E0h. For Unix, Novell and other Operating Systems, please select the option: other. If a drive fails after the installation of a new software, you might want to change this setting and try again. A different OS requires a different Bus Master clock rate.

Large Disk Access Mode

This setting determines how large hard drives are to be accessed. The options are DOS or Other (for Unix, Novelle NetWare and other operating systems).

￿Advanced Chipset Control

Access the submenu to make changes to the following settings.

Warning: Take caution when changing the Advanced settings. An Incor- rect value, a very high DRAM frequency or an incorrect DRAM timing may cause system to become unstable. When this occurs, reset the setting to the default setting.

SERR Signal Condition

This setting specifi es the ECC Error conditions that an SERR# is to be asserted. The options are None, Single Bit, Multiple Bit, and Both.

Clock Spectrum Feature

If Enabled, the BIOS will monitor the level of Electromagnetic Interference caused by the components and will attempt to decrease the interference whenever needed. The options are Enabled and Disabled.
