But if UnitID clumping enable on a chain, after/during UnitID assignment, software will
check each node for the presence of a Clumping capability block, indicating full clumping
support. Software will OR together the result of all the reads to create a combined Clumping
“Mask”. If all the nodes on the chain have indicated Full support, the Clumping Support
register of the host can also be read and Ored into the Clumping Mask. The Mask will then be
written into the Clumping Enable register of all nodes on the chain.
CAS # Latency
When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS latency depends
on the DRAM timing. The settings are: Auto,3, 4 and 5.
RAS-to-CAS Delay
This field let’s you insert a timing delay between the CAS and RAS strobe signals, used when
DRAM is written to, read from, or refreshed.
Fast
gives faster performance; and
Slow
gives
more stable performance. This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in
the system.
Row Precharge Time
If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before
DRAM refresh, the refresh may be incomplete and the DRAM may fail to retain date. Fast
gives faster performance; and Slow gives more stable performance. This field applies only
when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.
