Register Description
3.5.18 DRA—DRAM Row Attribute Register (D0:F0)
Address Offset: 70–73h
Default Value: 00h
Attribute: RO, R/W
Size: 8 bits x 4 registers
The DRAM Row Attribute register defines the page sizes to be used for each row of memory. Each
nibble of information in the DRA registers describes the page size of a row. For this register, a row
is defined by the chip select used by the DIMM; thus, a double-sided DIMM has both an even and
an odd entry. For single-sided DIMMs, only the even side is used.

Description
7
0b
R/W
ODD Device Width. This bit defines the width of the DDR-SDRAM devices populated in
this row. This bit is used in the mapping of DQS signals to DQ signals, in the DDR-
SDRAM receive path.
0 = x8 or x16 DIMMs
1 = x4 DIMMs.
6:4
000b
R/W
ODD Row Attribute for Odd-numbered Row. This 3-bit field defines the page size of
the corresponding row.
000 = Reserved
001 = 4 KB
010 = 8 KB
011 = 16 KB
100 = 32 KB
101 = 64 KB
11x = Reserved
3
0b
R/W
Even Device Width. This bit defines the width of the DDR-SDRAM devices populated in
this. This bit field is used in the mapping of DQS signals to DQ signals in the DDR-
SDRAM receive path.
0 = x8 or x16 DIMMs
1 = x4 DIMMs.
2:0
000b
R/W
Even Row Attribute for Even-numbered Row. This 3-bit field defines the page size of
the corresponding row.
