CPU L1 and L2 Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional
DRAM (system memory). CPU’s from the 486-type on up contain internal
cache memory and most modern PC’s have additional (external) cache
memory. When the CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested data
from the main DRAM into cache memory, for even faster access by the CPU.
These two options allow you to either enable (speed up memory access) or
disable the cache function.
Quick Power-On Self Test (POST)
This option speeds up the POST after you power up the system. If it is set to
enabled (Default), the BIOS will shorten or skip some of the check items
during POST.
Hyper-Threading Technology
This option activates hyper-threading technology feature.
First/Second/Third Boot Device
When enabled, this option determines which drive to search for first for the
operating system such as DOS.
Floppy LS-120/Zip HDD-0
SCSI CD-ROM HDD-1
HDD-2 HDD-3 LAN
Boot Other Device
This option allows the system to search for an operating system from devices
other than the ones selected in the “First/Second/Third Boot Device” option.
Swap Floppy Drive
This option allows you to determine whether or not to enable Swap Floppy
Drive. When enabled, the BIOS swaps the floppy drive assignments so that
Drive A becomes Drive B, and Drive B becomes Drive A.
