CPU Internal Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster
/External Cache
than conventional DRAM (system memory). When the
CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested
data from the main DRAM into cache memory, for even
faster access by the CPU.
Quick Power On
Select enabled to to reduce the amount of time required
Self-Test
to run the power-on self-test (POST). A quick POST
skips certain steps. It is recommended that you normally
disable Quick POST.
Boot Sequence
The original IBM PCs loaded the DOS from drive A
(floppy disk), so IBM PC-compatible systems are
designed to search for an operating system first on drive
A, and then on drive C (hard disk). Most modern com-
puters load the operating system from the hard drive,
and may even load it from a CD ROM drive. The
options are: A,C,SCSI; C,A,SCSI; C,CDROM,A;
CDROM,C,A; D,A,SCSI; E,A,SCSI; F,A,SCSI;
SCSI,A,C; SCSI,C,A; C only, LS120,C; 21D100,C
Boot Up Floppy Seek
When enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to
determine whether they have 40 or 80 tracks. Only 360k
drives have 40 tracks. 720k, 1.2M, and 1.44M drives all
have 80 tracks. Because very few modern PCs have 40-
track drives, it is recommended that you set this field to
DISABLED to save time.
