Enabled
Activates automatically when the system boots up causing
a warning message to appear when anything attempts to
access the boot sector or hard disk partition table.
Disabled No warning message will appear when anything attempts
to access the boot sector or hard disk partition table.
NOTE:
Many disk diagnostic programs which attempt to access the boot sector
table can cause the above warning message. If you will be running such
a program, we recommend that you first disable Virus Protection
beforehand.

items during POST.

Boot Sequence
This category determines which drive to search first for the disk operating system
(i.e., DOS). The options available are “A,C,SCSI”, “C,A,SCSI”, “C,CDROM,A”,
“CDROM,C,A”, “D,A,SCSI”, “E,A,SCSI”, “F,A,SCSI”, “SCSI,A,C”, “SCSI,C,A”,
“C only” and “LS/ZIP,C”. Default value is A,C,SCSI.
When select to load the OS from “CDROM,C,A” or “LS/ZIP,C”, you must select
the “HARD DISK TYPE and MODE” properly, the “Auto” selection is
recommended so that you can use CDROM or LS/ZIP device to load the OS into
your system. (You can find these items in the “STANDARD CMOS SETUP” )
