BIOS Features Setup

This "BIOS Features Setup" option consists of configuration entries that
allow you to improve system performance or set up system features
according to your preference. The motherboard's design requires that
some entries remain in their default settings.
NOTE: Defaults are noted in parenthesis next to each function heading.

Details of BIOS Features Setup

Virus Warning (Disabled)
If enabled, this feature protects the boot sector and partition table of the
hard disk against accidental modifications. Any attempt to write to them
causes the system to halt and display a warning message. If this occurs,
you can either allow the operation to continue or reboot from a bootable,
virus-free floppy disk and investigate the system. When installing new
operating systems, you must disable this feature to prevent write errors.
CPU Internal Cache (Enabled)
Choose Disable to turn off the CPU's built-in level 1 cache.
External Cache (Enabled)
Choose Disable to turn off the CPU's external level 2 cache.
Quick Power On Self Test (Enabled)
This feature speeds up the power-on self test (POST) routine by testing
once, rather than four times. The default is Enabled.
HDD Sequence SCSI/IDE First (IDE)
When using both SCSI and IDE hard disk drives, IDE is always the boot
disk using drive letter C. When set to SCSI, this feature allows a SCSI
hard disk drive to be the boot disk. This allows systems to have multiple
operating systems on both IDE and SCSI drives or to boot the primary
operating system from a SCSI hard disk drive.
