SDRAM PLL clock output

Has anyone ever got the following warning regarding the SDRAM PLL clock output: 

 

warning: pll "sys_pll1:sys_pll|altpll:altpll_component|pll" output port clk[2] feeds output pin "sdram_clk" via non-dedicated routing -- jitter performance depends on switching rate of other design elements. use pll dedicated clock outputs to ensure jitter performance 

 

My SDRAM clock output signal is assigned to "PLL5_OUT1p" 

 

I thought this meant that I had to go into the assignment editor and assign, for example, PLL5 to the SDRAM clock output signal name. When I try to do that the fitter fails. Does anyone know why I get this, and furthermore how to correct it?

You should check the pll chapter on the device handbook. 

The input clk and output clk must feed to/from the same pll directly. 

If the input clock does not match the pll, it wont fit. 

If the output clock does not match, it will warn of the jitter.
