Virus Warning - Abit SL6 User Manual

BIOS Setup 3-17

Virus Warning:

This item can be set to Enabled or Disabled, the default setting being Disabled.
When this feature is enabled, if there is any attempt from a software or an application to
access the boot sector or the partition table, the BIOS will warn you that a boot virus is
attempting to access the hard disk.
CPU Level 1 Cache:
This item is used to enable or to disable the CPU level 1 cache. When the cache is set to
Disabled it is much slower, so the default setting for this item is Enabled since it will speed
up memory access. Some old and very poorly written programs will make the computer
malfunction or crash if the system speed is too high. In this case, you should disable this
feature. The default setting is Enabled.
CPU Level 2 Cache:
This item is used to enable or to disable the CPU level 2 cache. When the external cache is
enabled, it will speed up memory access, and the system will work faster. The default setting
is Enabled.
CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking:
This item is used to enable or to disable the CPU level 2 cache ECC checking function. The
default setting is Enabled.
Quick Power On Self Test:
After the computer has been powered on, the BIOS of the motherboard will run a series of
tests in order to check the system and its peripherals. If the Quick Power on Self-Test feature
is enabled, the BIOS will simplify the test procedures in order to speed up the boot process.
The default setting is Enabled.
