Advanced BIOS Features

► Boot Device Priority

This option is used to select the priority for boot devices. After pressing <Enter>, you can
select the device using the Up/Down arrow keys, and change the device priority using <+> or
<->; you can exit this menu by pressing <Esc>.

► Hard Disk Drives

This option is used to specify the boot priority sequence from available hard disk drives.

► Removable Drives

This option is used to specify the boot priority sequence from available removable drives.

► CD/DVD Drives

This option is used to specify the boot priority sequence from available CD/DVD drives.

► Quick Boot

While Enabled, this option allows BIOS to skip certain tests while booting, this will shorten the
time needed to boot the system.

► Quiet Boot

This item is used to enable/disable the quiet boot.

[Disabled] : Displays the normal POST messages.
[Enabled] : Displays OEM customer logo instead of POST messages.

► Floppy Drive Seek

This item controls whether the BIOS will be checking for a floppy drive while booting up. If it
cannot detect one (either due to improper configuration or physical unavailability), it will appear
an error message. Disabling this function, then POST will not detect the floppy.

► Bootup Num-Lock

This item defines if the keyboard Num Lock key is active when your system is started. The

available settings are: On (default) and Off.

► BIOS Write Protect

To protect the system BIOS from virus attack, there is a BIOS write-protection mechanism
provided. Super BIOS Protect function protects your BIOS from being affected by viruses, e.g.
CIH.
