Anti-Virus
The Anti-Virus setting is only relevant for floppy diskettes. Hard disk drives are not checked
by this option. When Anti-Virus is Enabled, diskettes cannot be formatted unless a quick
format is executed, which does not write to Track 0 on the diskette. A format that writes to
Track 0 will not be performed. The default is Disabled to allow formatting of diskettes in all
circumstances.
Utility Menu
Use the options in the Utility Menu to change the language used in BIOS Setup, and to
automatically detect and configure any IDE drives you connect to the system.
Language
The default is English.
Detect IDE
This parameter searches for IDE devices connected to the IDE controller. Any IDE drive
found is made available for you to configure. For information on setting an IDE device to
master or slave, see the documentation accompanying the device.
Default Menu
Every option in BIOS Setup contains three sets of default values:
Values
Description
Original
These default values let you use the last-saved values as the new default values.
Optimal
These default values provide optimum performance settings for all devices and
system features.
Fail-Safe
These default values consist of the safest BIOS parameter settings. You can use
these values if the system is behaving erratically. They should always work, but
they do not provide optimal system performance.
CAUTION
Loading Optimal or Fail-Safe BIOS settings overwrites all customiz ed parameter settings. If
you have customized any parameters, record them before loading Optimal or Fail-Safe
settings.
Original
Select the Original icon to load the last-saved BIOS settings.
