CPU Feature
• Delay Prior to Thermal - The Delay Prior To Thermal BIOS feature controls the activation of the Thermal
Monitor's automatic mode. It allows you to determine when the CPU's Thermal Monitor should be activated in
automatic mode after the system boots. For example, with the default value of 16 Minutes, the BIOS activates
the Thermal Monitor in automatic mode 16 minutes after the system starts booting up.
• Thermal Management - This item enables you to specify the Thermal Monitor1 (On die throtting) or Thermal
Monitor 2 (Ratio & VID transition). Default setting is Thermal Monitor 1.
• TM2 Bus Ratio - This represents the throttle frequency for the Trimedia TM2 PCI bus interface. Enter any
integer number between 0 and 255 inclusive to set this frequency..
• TM2 Bus VID - This represents the throttle voltage for the Trimedia TM2 PCI bus interface. Choose a value
between 0.8375V and 1.6000V inclusive.

Virus Warning
When enabled, this item provides protection against viruses that try to write to the boot sector and partition table of the
hard disk drive. You need to disable this item when installing an operating system. We recommend that you enable
anti-virus protection as soon as you have installed an operating system. The default setting is Disabled.
CPU L1 & L2 Cache
All processors that can be installed in this mainboard use internal level 1 (L1) and level 2 (L2) cache memory to
improve performance. Leave this item at the default setting for better performance. The default setting is Enabled.
CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking
This item enables or disables ECC (Error Correction Code) error checking on the CPU cache memory. We recommend
that you leave this item at the default setting. The default setting is Enabled.

after you are confident that the system hardware is operating smoothly. The default setting is Enabled.

The BIOS loads the operating system from the disk drives in the sequence selected in these three fields. The default
setting is CD-ROM/USB-ZIP/HDD0.

When enabled, the system searches all other possible locations for an operating system if it fails to find one in the
devices specified under the First, Second, and Third boot devices. The default setting is Enabled.
Boot Up NumLock Status
This item defines if the keyboard Num Lock key is active when the system is started. The default setting is On.
Typematic Rate Setting
If this item is enabled, you can use the following two items to set the typematic rate and the typematic delay settings
for the keyboard. The default setting is Disabled.
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
Use this item to define how many characters per second are generated by a held-down key. The default setting is 6.
Typematic Delay (Msec)
Use this item to define how many milliseconds must elapse before a held-down key begins generating repeat charac-
ters. The default setting is 250.
