Note:
This function is available only for DOS and other operating systems that do not trap
INT13. For complete protection against viruses, install virus software in your operating
system and update the virus definitions regularly. Many disk diagnostic programs
that access the boot sector table can trigger the virus warning message. If you plan
to run such a program, we recommend that you disable the virus warning.
CPU L1, L2 and L3 Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM
(system memory). This BIOS feature is used to enable or disable the processor's
Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 cache. Naturally, the default and recommended setting is
Enabled.
Hyper Threading Technology
The Intel Hyper-Threading Technology allows a single processor to execute two or
more separate threads concurrently. When hyper-threading is enabled, multi-
threaded software applications can execute their threads in parallel, thereby im-
proving the processor’s performance.
Quick Power On Self Test
This item speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) when you turn on the
computer. If it is set to Enabled, BIOS will shorten or skip some check items dur-
ing the POST.
First/Second/Third Boot Device
BIOS attempts to load the operating system from the devices in the sequence
selected in these items. The available choices are Floppy, LS120, Hard Disk Drive,
SCSI, CDROM, HDD 1, HDD 2, HDD 3.
Boot Other Device
If the selected boot devices fail to boot, selecting Enabled for this item allows the
BIOS to boot from other boot devices (in a predefined sequence) which are
present but not selected as boot devices in the setup.
