4. BIOS SETUP

4.4 Advanced Menu

Plug & Play O/S [No]
This field allows you to use a Plug-and-Play (PnP) operating system to con-
figure the PCI bus slots instead of using the BIOS. When [Yes] is selected,
interrupts may be reassigned by the OS. When a non-PnP OS is installed or
you want to prevent reassigning of interrupt settings, select the default set-
ting of [No]. Configuration options: [No] [Yes]
Boot Virus Detection [Enabled]
This field allows you to set boot virus detection, ensuring a virus-free boot
sector. With this new solution, your computer is protected against boot vi-
rus threats earlier in the boot cycle, that is, before they have a chance to load
into your system. The system halts and displays a warning message when it
detects a virus. If this occurs, you can either allow the operation to continue
or use a virus-free bootable floppy disk to restart and investigate your sys-
tem. Because of conflicts with new operating systems, for example, during
installation of new software, you may have to set this to [Disabled] to pre-
vent write errors. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Quick Power On Self Test [Enabled]
This field speeds up the Power-On Self Test (POST) routine by skipping
retesting a second, and third time. A complete test of the system memory
can be done on the first test. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
