Chapter 4: BIOS

Advanced Chipset Control

Access the submenu to make changes to the following settings.

Warning: Take Caution when changing the Advanced settings. Incorrect values entered may cause the system to malfunction. Also, a very high DRAM frequency or incorrect DRAM timing may cause system instability. When this occurs, revert the setting to the default setting.

SERR Signal Condition

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

4GB PCI Hole Granularity

This feature allows you to select the granularity of PCI holes for the PCI slots. If MTRRs are not enough, this option may be used to reduce MTRR occupation. The options are: 256 MB, 512 MB, 1GB and 2GB.

Memory Branch Mode

This option determines how the two memory branches operate. System address space can either be interleaved between the two branches or Sequential from one branch to another. Mirror mode allows data correction by maintaining two copies of data in two branches. Single Channel 0 allows a single DIMM population during system manufacturing. The options are Interleave, Sequential, Mirroring, and Single Channel 0.

Branch 0 Rank Sparing/Branch 1 Rank Sparing

Select Enabled to enable the function of memory sparing for Memory Bus Branch 0 or Branch 1 to enhance memory performance. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Branch 0 Rank Interleaving/Branch 1 Rank Interleaving

Select enable to enable Interleaved Memory for Memory Bus Branch 0 Rank or Branch 1 Rank to increase data security. The options for Memory Interleaving are 1:1, 2:1 and 4:1.

Enhanced x8 Detection

Select Enabled to enable Enhanced x8 DRAM UC Error Detection. The options are Disabled and Enabled.

High Bandwidth FSB

Select Enabled to enable high bandwidth Front Side Bus (FSB). The options are Enabled and Disabled.
