BIOS Setup
3.1.2 Advanced BIOS Features
The Advanced BIOS Features allows you to configure your sys-
tem for basic operation. Some entries are defaults required by
the system board, while others, if enabled, will improve the per-
formance of your system or let you set some features according
to your preference.
3.1.2.1 CPU Feature
This field is used to configure the CPU that is installed on the
system board. Move the cursor to this field then press <Enter>.
3.1.2.2 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 moni-
tor 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 be-
fore any damage is done.
The settings on the screen are for reference only. Your version may not be identical
to this one.
