SDRAM CAS Latency Time
You can select CAS latency time in HCLKs of 2/2 or 3/3. The system
board designer should set the values in this field, depending on the
DRAM installed. Do not change the values in this field unless you change
specifications of the installed DRAM or the installed CPU. The choices
are 2 and 3.

SDRAM Cycle Time Tras/Trc
The default setting for the SDRAM Cycle Time Tras/Trc is Auto.

SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay
You can select RAS to CAS Delay time in HCLKs of 2/2 or 3/3. The
system board designer should set the values in this field, depending on the
DRAM installed. Do not change the values in this field unless you change
specifications of the installed DRAM or the installed CPU. The choices
