[DRAM and ECC]
If all your DRAM modules have parity chips (e.g. 8 chips + 4 parity chips),
they are
considered 36bits.
This motherboard sums the memory per bank and therefore two
modules will give 72bits and the following will be displayed:
If your DRAM modules do not have parity chips (e.g. 8 chips),
they are considered
32bits and the following will be displayed instead:
The default of
Disabled
for
Memory parity SERR# (NMI)
will not show memory
errors on your monitor.
When using parity DRAM modules, you can select from the
default of
Parity
or
ECC
(Error Checking and Correcting) to correct 1 bit memory
errors that may occur in the memory.
(See pages 12-13 for more information on
DRAM memory modules.)

Onboard FDC Controller
When enabled, this field allows you to connect your floppy disk drives to the on-
board floppy drive connector instead of a separate controller card.
If you want to
use a different controller card to connect the floppy drives, set this field to “Dis-
abled”.
Default setting is
Enabled
.
Onboard FDC Swap A: B:
This field allows you to reverse the hardware drive letter assignments of your floppy
disk drives. Two options are available:
No Swap
(default) and
Swap AB
.
If you want to
switch drive letter assignments through the onboard chipset, set this field to
Swap AB
.
Onboard Serial Port 1
Settings are
3F8H/IRQ4
(default),
2F8H/IRQ3, 3E8H/IRQ4, 2E8H/IRQ10,
and
Dis-
abled
for the onboard serial connector.
Onboard Serial Port 2
Settings are
3F8H/IRQ4,
2F8H/IRQ3
(default),
3E8H/IRQ4, 2E8H/IRQ10,
and
Dis-
abled
for the onboard serial connector.
