Award BIOS Setup Utility
operating systems like Windows
®
95/98/2000/ME/XP or the operat-
ing system may not install nor work.
CPU L1 Cache and CPU L2 Cache
These fields speed up the memory access.
CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking
The processors supported by the system board come with built-in
Level 2 cache. By default, ECC is enabled to check the Level 2
cache. If you are not using this function, set this field to Disabled.
Quick Power On Self Test
This field speeds up Power On Self Test (POST) after you power
on the system. When Enabled, the BIOS will shorten or skip some
check items during POST.
First Boot Device, Second Boot Device, Third Boot Device and
Boot Other Device
Select the drive to boot first, second and third in the “First Boot
Device” “Second Boot Device” and “Third Boot Device” fields re-
spectively. The BIOS will boot the operating system according to the
sequence of the drive selected. Set “Boot Other Device” to Enabled
if you wish to boot from another device.
Swap Floppy Drive
When this field is enabled and the system is booting from the
floppy drive, the system will boot from drive B instead of drive A.
When this option is disabled and the system is booting from the
floppy drive, the system will boot from drive A. You must have two
floppy drives to use this function.
Boot Up Floppy Seek
When enabled, the BIOS will check whether the floppy disk drive
installed is 40 or 80 tracks. Note that the BIOS cannot distinguish
between 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M drive types as they are all 80
tracks. When disabled, the BIOS will not search for the type of floppy
disk drive by track number. Note that there will not be any warning
message if the drive installed is 360KB.
