Advanced BIOS Features

Quick Boot
Setting the item to [Enabled] allows the system to boot within 5 seconds since it will
skip some check items. Available options: [Enabled], [Disabled].
Boot Sector Protection
This function protects the BIOS from accidental corruption by unauthorized users or
computer viruses. When enabled, the BIOS' data cannot be changed when attempt-
ing to update the BIOS with a Flash utility. To successfully update the BIOS, you'll
need to disable this Boot Sector Protection function.
You should enable this function at all times. The only time when you need to disable
it is when you want to update the BIOS. After updating the BIOS, you should immedi-
ately re-enable it to protect it against viruses. Setting options: [Enabled], [Disabled].
Boot to OS/2
®
This allows you to run the OS/2 operating system with DRAM greater than 64MB.
Setting options: [Yes], [No].
Hyper-Threading Technology
The processor uses Hyper-Threading technology to increase transaction rates and
reduces end-user response times. The technology treats the two cores inside the
processor as two logical processors that can execute instructions simultaneously.
In this way, the system performance is highly improved. If you disable the function,
the processor will use only one core to execute the instructions. Settings: [Enabled],
[Disabled].
