Wait for F1 if Error
This settings for this option are Enabled and Disabled.
Disabled: This
prevents the AMIBIOS to wait on an error for user intervention. This setting
should be used if there is a known reason for a BIOS error to appear. An
example would be a system administrator must remote boot the system
when the computer system does not have a keyboard currently attached. If
this setting is set, the system will continue to bootup into the operating
system.
If "F1" is enabled, the system will wait until the BIOS setup is
entered. Enabled: This option configures the system BIOS to wait for any
error. If an error is detected, pressing <F1> will enter Setup and the BIOS
setting can be adjusted to fix the problem.
This normally happens when
upgrading the hardware and not setting the BIOS to recognize it.
Press <Delete> Message Display
This option tells the system to display or not display the "Hit Delete to Enter
Setup" message. The settings are Enabled and Disabled.
Internal Cache
This option is for enabling or disabling the internal CPU L1 cache. Settings
include Disabled, Write-Thru and Write-Back and Reserved. Disabled: This
option prevents the system from using the internal CPU L1 cache.
This
setting should be used to slow the computer system down or to trouble-
shoot error messages. Write-Thru: This option allows the computer system
to use the internal CPU L1 cache as Write-Though cache. Write-Through
cache is slower than Write-Back cache. It performs write operations to the
internal L1 CPU cache and system memory simultaneously. Write-Back
This option allows the computer system to use the internal CPU L1 cache as
Write-Back cache.
Write-Back cache is faster than Write-Through cache.
Write-Back cache is a caching method in which modifications to data in the
cache aren't copied to the cache source until absolutely necessary. Write-
back caching is available on all CPUs supported by this BIOS. With these
CPUs, write operations stored in the L1 cache aren't copied to main memory
until absolutely necessary. Write-Back cache is the default setting.
External Cache
This option is for enabling or disabling the internal CPU L2 cache.
Settings
include Disabled, Write-Thru and Write-Back. See description above.
