Chapter 3
Advanced Menu
The Advanced Menu contains settings for integrated peripherals, memory
shadow, cache, and large disk access mode. The Advanced Menu is shown
below.
Integrated Peripherals
Sub-Menu
This sub-menu is used to configure the onboard serial (COM) and parallel
(LPT) ports, as well as the onboard disk controllers. For more information,
see the “Integrated Peripherals Sub-Menu” subsection later in this chapter.
Advanced Chipset Control
Sub-Menu
This sub-menu is used to configure the chipset. For more information, see
the “Advanced Chipset Control Sub-Menu” subsection later in this chapter.
Plug & Play O/S:
If enabled, this field informs the System BIOS that the operating system
which is booted supports Plug and Play. This forces the Plug and Play
portion of the System BIOS to only configure motherboard devices and
those peripherals that are necessary for booting (display, hard disk, and so
forth), the rest being left to the operating system to configure. The default
is
No
(disabled).
Reset Configuration Data:
If enabled, this field updates the Extended System Configuration Data
(ESCD) block residing in FBD main block #2. This is necessary the first
time a system is turned on or if the ESCD becomes corrupted. The default
is
No
(disabled). This field is automatically reset to
No
after the ESCD is
updated.
Level 1 Cache:
When enabled, this field speeds up the processor by enabling the Level 1
(L1) cache. If the L1 cache is disabled, system performance will suffer. The
default is
Enabled
.
Large Disk Access Mode:
If a hard disk larger than 528 MB is being used, this field should be set either
to
DOS
if running MS-DOS, or to
Other
if using a different operating
system. Setting this field to
DOS
causes the system BIOS to perform
cylinder/head translation if the drive is configured in BIOS Setup to have
more than 1024 cylinders. This allows MS-DOS systems to use hard disks
up to 8 GB (1024C X 255H X 63S) in size without special drivers or LBA.
