Chapter 4 BIOS Setup
Virus Warning If enabled, BIOS will show a warning message on screen
whenever anyone attempts to write data into HDD boot
sector.
CPU Internal / External
Cache memory is additional memory that is much
Cache
faster than conventional DRAM (system memory).
CPUs from 486-type up contain internal cache
memory (L1), and most, but not all, modern PCs
have additional (external) cache memory (L2).
When the CPU requests data, the system transfers
the requested data from the main DRAM into cache
memory, for faster access by the CPU.

Quick Power On Self
Select Enabled to reduce the amount of time required to
Test
run the power-on self-test (POST). A quick POST skips
certain steps. We recommend that you normally enable
quick POST.

The BIOS attempts to load the operating system from
Boot Other Device
the devices in the sequence selected in these items.
The choices: Floppy; LS120; ZIP100; HDD;
CDROM; USB-FDD; USB-ZIP; USB-CDROM; LAN;

Swap Floppy Drive When enabled, floppy drives A and B will be ex-
changing without any physical connection and modi-
fication on the cables.
Boot Up Floppy Seek When enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives
to determine whether they have 40 or 80 tracks. Only
360-KB floppy drives have 40 tracks; drives with
270KB, 1.2MB, and 1.44MB capacity all have 80
tracks. Because very few modern PCs have 40-track
floppy drives, we recommend that you set this field
to disabled to save time.
