BIOS Setup

MS-7636

PROM on the DRAM module. Settng to [Auto] enables DRAM tmngs and the followng

“Advance DRAM Configuraton” sub-menu to be determned by BIOS based on the con-

figuratons on the SPD. Selectng [Manual] allows users to configure the DRAM tmngs

and the followng related “Advance DRAM Configuraton” sub-menu manually.

Advance DRAM Configuraton

Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu.

CH1/ CH2 1T/2T Memory Tmng

Ths tem controls the SDRAM command rate. Select [1N] makes SDRAM sgnal

controller to run at 1N (N=clock cycles) rate. Selectng [2N] makes SDRAM sgnal

controller run at 2N rate.

CH1/ CH2 CAS Latency (CL)

Ths controls the CAS latency, whch determnes the tmng delay (n clock cycles)

before SDRAM starts a read command after recevng t.

CH1/ CH2 tRCD

When DRAM s refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed separately. Ths

setup tem allows you to determne the tmng of the transton from RAS (row ad-

dress strobe) to CAS (column address strobe). The less the clock cycles, the faster

the DRAM performance.

CH1/ CH2 tRP

Ths settng controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe (RAS) to be

allowed to precharge. If nsufficent tme s allowed for the RAS to accumulate ts

charge before DRAM refresh, refresh may be ncomplete and DRAM may fal to

retan data. Ths tem apples only when synchronous DRAM s nstalled n the sys-

tem.

CH1/ CH2 tRAS

Ths settng determnes the tme RAS takes to read from and wrte to memory cell.

CH1/ CH2 tRFC

Ths settng determnes the tme RFC takes to read from and wrte to a memory

cell.

CH1/ CH2 tWR

Mnmum tme nterval between end of wrte data burst and the start of a precharge

command. Allows sense amplfiers to restore data to cells.

CH1/ CH2 tWTR

Mnmum tme nterval between the end of wrte data burst and the start of a col-

umn-read command. It allows I/O gatng to overdrve sense amplfiers before read

command starts.

CH1/ CH2 tRRD

Specfies the actve-to-actve delay of dfferent banks.

CH1/ CH2 tRTP

Tme nterval between a read and a precharge command.

CH1/ CH2 tFAW

Ths tem s used to set the tFAW tmng.
