Introduction of BIOS

(3) BIOS Features Setup Menu

BIOS Features Setup Menu has already been set for maximum operation.

If you do not really understand each of the options in this menu, we
recommend you use default values.

In each item, you can press <F1> at any time to display all the options for

this item.

Fig 3-4 BIOS Features Setup

Virus Warning:

This item can be set as Enable or Disable.

When this feature is enabled, if there is any attempt from a software or
an application to access the boot sector or the partition table, the BIOS
will warn you that a boot virus is attempting to access to the hard disk.

CPU Level 1 Cache:

This item is used to Enable or to Disable the CPU level 1 cache. When
the cache is set at Disable, it is much slower, so the default setting for
this item is Enable. Some old and very bad programs will make the
computer malfunction or crash if the system speed is too high. In that
case, you should Disable this feature.
