Description
Virus Warning
Dis.
Dis.
En., Dis.
When Enabled, you receive a warning message if a program
(specifically, a virus) attempts to write to the boot sector or the
partition table of the hard disk drive. You should then run an anti-
virus program. Keep in mind that this feature protects only the
boot sector, not the entire hard drive.
Note: Many disk diagnostic programs and OS setups (e.g.,
Win95 setup), that access the boot sector table, can trigger
the virus warning message. If you plan to run such a
program, we recommend that you first disable the virus
warning.
CPU Internal Cache
Dis.
En.
En., Dis.
Enables or Disables the CPU Internal Cache (L1 cache).
External Cache
Dis.
En.
En., Dis.
Enables or Disables the External Cache (L2 cache).
CPU L2 Cache ECC
Checking
Dis.
En.
En., Dis.
Enables or Disables ECC Checking for L2 cache.
Quick Power On Self
Test
Dis.
En.
En., Dis.
Select Enabled to reduce the amount of time required running the
power-on self-test (POST). A quick POST skips certain steps. We
recommend that you enable quick POST to save time, since most
major OS do their own tests
Boot From LAN First
Dis.
Dis.
En., Dis.
If Enabled, the BIOS will first attempt to boot from the LAN. The
complete procedure for this function is available on the Boot From
LAN utility diskette.
Boot Sequence
A,C,
SCSI
C,A,
SCSI
See
description
This option defines the searching order in the BIOS for the boot
device(s).
Options are listed as follows: 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; LS/ZIP,C.
Floppy Disk Access
Control
R/W
R/W.
R/W,
Read only
Select R/W to enable Read and Writes operations for the floppy
disk drive.
Drive A Boot Permit
En
En.
En., Dis.
Select En. to enable Drive A boot in the bootup sequence. If
disabled, the drive is passed over.
Swap Floppy Drive
Dis.
Dis.
En., Dis.
Selecting Enabled assigns physical drive B to logical drive A, and
physical drive A to logical drive B. If there is only one floppy on the
system, it could be assigned to B with this option.
Boot Up Floppy Seek
En.
Dis.
En., Dis.
When Enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to determine
whether they have 40 or 80 tracks. Only 360KB floppy drives have
40 tracks; drives with 720KB, 1.2MB, and 1.44MB capacity all
have 80 tracks. Because very few modern PCs have 40 track
floppy drives, we recommend that you set this field to “Disabled”
to save time.
Floppy FIFO Control
Dis.
Dis.
En., Dis.
Drive A Boot Permit
Dis.

FD Write Protect
Dis.
Dis.
En., Dis.
When Enabled, write access on floppy disk is not allowed
HD Write Protect
Dis.
Dis.
En., Dis.
When Enabled, write access on hard disk is not allowed
HDD S.M.A.R.T.
Capability
Dis.
En.
En., Dis.
Allows the BIOS to use the S.M.A.R.T. (System Management and
Reporting Technologies) protocol for reporting server system
information over a network.
Boot Up NumLock
Status
On
On
On, Off
Toggle between On or Off to control the state of the NumLock key
when the system boots. When toggled On, the numeric keypad
generates numbers instead of controlling cursor operations.
Gate A20 Option
Norm.
Fast
Normal, Fast
When Fast, enables fast switching of Gate A20 via the 440BX
chipset, instead of the keyboard controller.
