P5BTX/L System Board User’s Manual

HDD S.M.A.R.T. Capability

The system board supports SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and
Reporting Technology) hard drives. SMART is a reliability prediction
technology for ATA/IDE and SCSI drives. The drive will provide
sufficient notice to the system or user to backup data prior to the
drive’s failure. The default is Disabled. If you are using hard drives
that support S.M.A.R.T., set this field to Enabled.

Video BIOS Shadow

Determines whether video BIOS will be copied to RAM. Video
Shadow will increase the video speed. Note that some graphics
boards require that this option be disabled. The default value is
Enabled.
