When this is enabled, the BIOS will monitor the boot sector and partition
table of the primary hard disk drive and warn of any attempt to write to it.
If an attempt is detected, the BIOS will halt the system and the following
warning message will appear:
In this situation, restart your system from a virus-free bootable floppy disk
and then use an anti-virus utility located on the floppy disk to check the
hard disk. The default setting is Disabled.
CPU Internal

Enables CPU internal cache to speed up memory access.
External

Enables CPU secondary cache to speed up memory access.
CPU L2

Checking
Enables the CPU’s ECC function. The default is Enabled.
Note: Some Pentium-II processors do not support the ECC function. In
such cases, this option will be bypassed.

If this is enabled, BIOS will shorten or skip some check items during
Power On Self Test (POST) to speed up the process.

from CD-ROM drive or SCSI hard disk drive.
