Floppy Drive Seek at Boot
When set to Enabled, AMIBIOS performs a Seek command on floppy disk drive A before
booting the system. The default is Disabled.
Password Checking (Supervisor)
This parameter prevents unauthorized system boot up or use of AMIBIOS Setup. Setup (the
default) enables the system to prompt for a password before allowing you to enter AMIBIOS
Setup. If you select Always, the password prompt appears each time the system is powered
on. This parameter can be modified only by the Supervisor.
OS/2 Compatible Mode
When set to Yes, this setting optimizes the system for use with OS/2. The default is No.
Processor Microcode Update (Supervisor)
This parameter allows to you disable an installed processor patch, if the patch causes the
system to operate improperly. Any patch installed by Intergraph has been certified for use
with the system, so this parameter is set to Enabled by default. Use Disabled if a non-
Intergraph certified patch is applied and problems occur. This parameter can be modified
only by the Supervisor.
L1 and L2 Cache Mode
Allows you to choose between two processor cache modes: WriteBack (default) and
WriteThru.
System BIOS Cacheable
Setting this parameter to Enabled (default)makes the BIOS code cacheable, which improves
overall system performance.
C x 000, 16K Shadow
When the system boots, the BIOS code on ISA adapters is used directly from ROM
(Disabled), or it is copied from the board's ROM to system RAM. Overall system
performance improves when copied to RAM (Enabled). When set to Cached (default), the
BIOS is copied to RAM and cached, further improving performance. An ISA board BIOS
executes faster from system board RAM than from the ISA board ROM. All of the ISA
Adapter ROM parameters are set to Cached by default.
