Anti-Virus Protection (Disabled)
When enabled, this item provides protection against viruses that try to write to
the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk drive. You need to disable
this item when installing an operating system. We recommend that you enable
this item as soon as you have installed an operating system.
Note:
For complete protection against viruses, install virus software in your op-
erating system and update the virus definitions regularly.
CPU Internal Cache CPU Internal Cache (Enabled)
All processors that can be installed in this motherboard use internal level 1 (L1)
cache memory to improve performance. Leave this item at the default value
for better performance.
Quick Power On Self Test (Enabled)
Enable this item to shorten the power on testing (POST) and have your sys-
tem start up faster. You might like to enable this item after you are confident
that your system hardware is operating smoothly.
First/Second/Third Boot Device (Floppy/HDD-0/CD-ROM)
Use these three items to select the priority and order of the devices that your
system searches for an operating system at start-up time.
Boot Other Device (Enabled)
When enabled, the system searches all other possible locations for an operat-
ing system if it fails to find one in the devices specified under the First, Second,
and Third boot devices.
