Report No FDD For OS:
When you are running some older Windows version without floppy drive, set this item to Yes. Otherwise,
set it to No. The default setting is No.
Delay IDE Initial (Secs):
This item is used to support some old models or special types of hard disks or CD-ROMs. They may need
a longer amount of time to initialize and prepare for activation. Since the BIOS may not detect those
kinds of devices during system booting. You can adjust the value to fit such devices. Larger values will
give more delay time to the device. The minimum number you can enter is 0, the maximum number you
can enter is 15. The default setting is 0.
Disable unuse DIMM/PCI Clk:
Select [Yes] to let the system automatically detect the unused DIMM and PCI slots, and stop sending
clock signal to these unused slots. Select [No] to let the system always send clock signal to all slots.
NOTE: Some adapters cannot be automatically detected by the system, and will cause malfunction.
Please set this option to no. The problem can be solved.
3-4. Advanced Chipset Features Setup Menu
The Chipset Features Setup Menu is used to modify the contents of the buffers in the chipset on the
motherboard. Since the parameters of the buffers are closely related to hardware, if the setup is not correct
or is false, the motherboard will become unstable or you will not be able to boot up. If you don’t know the
hardware very well, use default values (i.e. use the LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS option). The only time
you might consider making any changes is if you discover that data is being lost while using your system.

NOTE: The parameters in this screen are for system designers, service personnel, and technically
competent users only. Do not reset these values unless you understand the consequences of your changes.
DRAM Clock/Drive Control:
This item can let you set several items concerning the DRAM parameters. If you do not understand what
each item does, please keep the default settings. Wrong settings may cause system unstablity, data loss or
even prevent boot up!
