Advanced BIOS Features

system or let you set some features according to your preference.

submenu, for ease of reference in this manual. In the actual CMOS setup,
you have to use the scroll bar to view the fields. The settings on the screen
are for reference only. Your version may not be identical to this one.
Onboard LAN Control
By default, the onboard LAN is enabled. If you are not using this
function, set this field to Disabled.
Virus Warning
This field protects the boot sector and partition table of your hard
disk drive. When this field is enabled, the Award BIOS will monitor
the boot sector and partition table of the hard disk drive. If an
attempt is made to write to the boot sector or partition table of
the hard disk drive, the BIOS will halt the system and an error
message will appear.
After seeing the error message, if necessary, you will be able to run
an anti-virus program to locate and remove the problem before any
damage is done.
