[DRAM and ECC]
If all your DRAM modules have parity chips (e.g. 8 chips + 4 parity chips), they are considered 36bits. This motherboard sums the memory per bank and therefore two modules will give 72bits and the following will be displayed:
If your DRAM modules do not have parity chips (e.g. 8 chips), they are considered 32bits and the following will be displayed instead:
The default of Disabled for Memory parity SERR# (NMI) will not show memory errors on your monitor. When using parity DRAM modules, you can select from the default of Parity or ECC (Error Checking and Correcting) to correct 1 bit memory errors that may occur in the memory. (See pages

Onboard FDC Controller
When enabled, this field allows you to connect your floppy disk drives to the onboard floppy drive connector instead of a separate controller card. If you want to use a different controller card to connect the floppy drives, set this field to “Dis- abled”. Default setting is Enabled.
Onboard FDC Swap A: B:
This field reverses the drive letter assignments of your floppy disk drives in the Swap AB setting, otherwise leave on the default setting of No Swap. This works separately from the BIOS Features floppy disk swap feature. It is functionally the same as physically interchanging the connectors of the floppy disk drives.

Settings are 3F8H/IRQ4 (default), 2F8H/IRQ3, 3E8H/IRQ4, 2E8H/IRQ10, and Disabled for the onboard serial connector.
Onboard Serial Port 2
Settings are 3F8H/IRQ4, 2F8H/IRQ3 (default), 3E8H/IRQ4, 2E8H/IRQ10, and Disabled for the onboard serial connector.
