Plug & Play OS PCI Latency Timer Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA Palette Snooping PCI IDE BusMaster Offboard PCI/ISA IDE Card IRQ 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15 DMA Channel 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 7 Yes No 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224, 248 Yes No Enabled Disabled Toggles the option of letting the OS take care of IRQ routing or the BIOS. Palette Snooping can fix color problems associated with non-standard video cards such as MPEG decoders. Toggles the onboard IDE controllers to operate in BusMaster mode. Enabled Disabled Auto Enables the system to recognize and boot Enabled from an add-in IDE controller card. Disabled These settings enable you to set which IRQs will be reserved for other devices other than the ones that use them by default. These settings enable DMA channel 0 and 1 to be enabled or disabled. 3. 9 ­ Chipset Options related to the chipset can be altered through the following. CPU Configuration North Bridge ICH3 South Bridge Intel PCI-64 Hub 2 3. 10 ­ CPU Configuration Options related to the CPU chipset settings can be altered through the following. It is recommended to leave as default (255), because changing CPU ratios may render your system inoperable. All settings discussed in following sections. CPU Ratio CMOS Setting 255 Hyper-Threading Enable This setting allows you to take advantage of Hyper-Threading enabled Xeon processors. Enabling Hyper-Threading allows a compatible Xeon processor to process applications that are written for a multi-processor system even if you are using only one Xeon processor. 28 http://www. TYAN. com 3. 11 ­ ICH3 Chipset Configuration Please leave all options in this section at their default setting because they are crucial to the stability of the system.

This option allows you to define whether or not to enable ACPI management features. BIOS à AML ACPI Stable Please leave this opt ion at its default setting. [. . . ] Backed by QLogic's ARM7 technology, IT manager can rest assure his server machines are always taken care. Unlike regular peripheral card such as AGP card, Network card or SCSI card, SMDC does not require any hardware specific driver. As long as a standby power comes into the system, SMDC will begin looking after the system. Tyan SMDC provides diversified methods to communicate with the hardware. [. . . ]
