DRAM Page Closing Policy

The settings for this option are Close and Open.

Memory Hole

Some ISA cards may require specific areas of memory to function. This can be done by choosing the 15 MB - 16 MB option to reserve the area. The settings for this option are Disabled and 15 MB-16 MB.

ICH2 Configuration

You can use this screen to select options for the ICH2 Configuration. Use the up and down arrow keys to select an item, and the plus (+) and minus (-) keys to change the option setting. The settings are described on the following pages. ICH stands for I/O Controller Hub, which is a chipset on the motherboard that controls the basic I/O functions, USB ports, audio functions, modem functions, IDE channels, and PCI slots.

Moon ISA Device Enable

This option allows a Moon ISA device to be supported. The settings are Disabled and Enabled. A Moon ISA device is a device that contains an Intel® PCIset S82380AB PCI to ISA in a 160-pin MQFP chipset. This chipset is called an Intel® Moon ISA or Intel® MISA. This chipset is used to connect ISA devices to computers that do not have a physical ISA slot. The best example of this is a notebook computer (No ISA Slots) when used with a docking station (contains up to three ISA peripherals). The docking station would contain the Intel® Moon ISA chipset.

ICH2 Positive Decode

This option allows the ICH2 Positive Decode to be set. The settings are Disabled and Enabled.

CPU Bist Enable

This option allows the CPU Bist Enable to be set. The settings are Disabled and Enabled.

ICH2 DCB Enable

This option allows the ICH2 DCB to be set. The settings are Disabled and Enabled.
