Branch 1 Rank Interleaving & Sparing

Select enable to enable the functions of Memory Interleaving and Memory Sparing for Branch 1 Rank. The options for Memory Interleaving are 1:1, 2:1 and 4:1. The options for Sparing are Enabled and Disabled.

Enhanced x8 Detection

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

High Temperature DRAM Operation

When set to Enabled, the BIOS will refer to the SPD table to set the maximum DRAM temperature. If disabled, the BIOS will set the maximum DRAM temperature based on a predefi ned value. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

AMB Thermal Sensor

Select Enabled to activate the thermal sensor embedded in the Advanced Memory Buffer on a fully buffered memory module for thermal monitoring. The options are Disabled and Enabled.

Thermal Throttle

Select Enabled to enable closed-loop thermal throttling on a fully buffered (FBD) memory module. In the closed-loop thermal environment, thermal throttling will be activated when the temperature of the FBD DIMM module exceeds a predefi ned threshold. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Global Activation Throttle

Select Enabled to enable open-loop global thermal throttling on a fully buffered (FBD) memory module to make it active whenever the number of activate control exceeds a predefi ned number. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Crystal Beach Features

This feature was designed to implement Intel's I/O AT (Acceleration Technology) to accelerate the performance of TOE devices. (ATOE device is a specialized, dedicated processor that is installed on an add-on card or a network card to handle some or all packet processing of the add-on card. For this motherboard, the TOE device is built inside the ESB2 South Bridge chip.) Options are Enabled and Disabled.

Route Port 80h Cycles to

This feature allows the user to decide which bus to send debug information to. The options are PCI and LPC.

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.
