BIOS Setup Information
Password Check
This option enables the password checking when the system boots up or runs
CMOS Setup. It only takes effect after setting Change Supervisor Password.
Setup : This option will force system to check password before running Setup if you
have already entered the current user password in “Change User Password”.
By that time, the system will be only able to boot but deny accessing Setup.
Always : Password prompt appears every boot-up. The system will not boot and
deny access Setup with invalid password. The best way is to clear CMOS
or try to reload BIOS Setup to boot up system.
Boot To OS/2
You should set this option to “Yes” to support OS/2 environment.
L1 Cache
This option controls to turn on or off the CPU’s Level 1 built-in cache.
L2 Cache
Enables this option to turn on or off the CPU’s Level 2 built-in cache.
System BIOS Cacheable
Enables this option to enhance system performance by shadowing and caching
system BIOS. When disabled, this BIOS shadow function will be ignored.
Shadow Memor y
Each of segments provides three options “Disabled”, “Enabled”, and “Cached” for
faster adapter’s ROM execution. However this shadow function is Chipset oriented
and dependent on system hardware feature. In general, C000 64k will be allocated
for VGA BIOS and set to Cached to get higher display performance by shadowing
and caching feature. If user chooses Enabled setting, only BIOS shadow function is
active.
