Enabling an External Cache

If you have installed external cache in your system, set the External Cache option to Enabled.You must also set your shadow video and BIOS options to Cacheable or WP-Shadow.

Setting Shadow ROM Options

Your computer can access RAM faster than ROM. Two options, Shadow BIOS ROM and Shadow Video ROM, allow your system to copy the contents of its system and/or video ROM into RAM (WP-Shadow) or external cache, if you have some installed (Cacheable). When you use shadowing or the external cache, your system can perform certain operations faster. You cannot enable Memory Remapping when you enablethe Shadow Video ROM and the Shadow BIOS ROM options.

Remapping Memory

The Memory Remapping option allows you to relocate 384KB of memory to the top addresses of DRAM. You must disable this option if you have enabled both the shadow Video ROM and the Shadow BIOS ROM options or any of the

Shadow 16K options that shadow memory at an address that begins with “D.”
