Advanced Setup

 

 

Three options are available:

•None - No error checking or error reporting is done.

•EC - Multibit errors are detected and reported as parity errors. Single-bit errors are corrected by the chipset. Corrected bits of data from memory are not written back to DRAM system memory.

•ECC Hardware - Multibit errors are detected and reported as parity errors. Single-bit errors are corrected by the chipset and are written back to DRAM system memory.

If a soft (correctable) memory error occurs, writing the fixed data back to DRAM system memory will resolve the problem. Most DRAM errors are soft errors. If a hard (uncorrectable) error occurs, writing the fixed data back to DRAM system memory does not solve the problem. In this case, the second time the error occurs in the same location, a Parity Error is reported, indicating an uncorrectable error.

DRAM Refresh Rate

This option specifies the interval between refresh signals to DRAM system memory.

Settings are in microseconds ("us").

The Setup screen displays the system option:

DRAM Refresh Rate

15.6 us

Available options are:

31.2us

64.4us

124.8us

249.6us

Memory Hole

This option may be used to specify an area in memory which cannot be addressed on the ISA Bus.

The Setup screen displays the system option:

Memory Hole
