Delay Prior to Thermal
W hen the CPU temperature reaches a factory preset level, a thermal monitoring
mechanism will be enabled following the appropriate timing delay specified in
this field. W ith the thermal monitoring enabled, clock modulation controlled by
the processor
’
s internal thermal sensor is also activated to keep the processor
within allowable temperature limit.
Ther mal M anagement
This setting specifies the thermal technologies implemented in the Pentium M
processor.
Limit CPUID MaxVal
If you want to install W inNT 4.0 (or some other legacy OS) with the main board
designed for Prescott P4 CPU, please set this item to [Enable] before OS
installation.
Masking the physical CPUID for Proscott core before installing WinNT will avoid
the unbootable issue caused by the confilting between CPUID and OS kernel
especially when you're using Prescott CPU with PCA-6187 and AIMB-742.
Execute Disable Bit
Intel's Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of malicious
"buffer overflow" attacks when combined with a supporting operating system.
This functionality allows the processor to classify areas in memory by where
application code can execute and where it cannot. W hen a malicious worm
attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution,
preventing damage or worm propagation.
Quick Power On Self Test
Select [Enabled] to reduce the amount of time required to run the power-on self-test
(POST). A quick POST skips certain steps. We recommend that you normally disable
quick POST. Better to find a problem during POST than lose data during your work.
Boot Up Floppy Seek
This setting causes the BIOS to search for floppy disk drives at boot time. W hen
enabled, the BIOS will activate the floppy disk drives during the boot process: the
drive activity light will come on and the head will move back and forth once. First A:
will be done and then B: if it exists.
MPS Table Version
This field allows you to select which MPS (Multi-Processor Specification) version to
be used for the operating system. You need to select the MPS version supported by
your operating system. To find out which version to use, consult the vendor of your
operating system.
Full Screen LOGO Show
This item enables you to show the company logo on the bootup screen. Settings are:
[Enabled] Shows a still image (logo) on the full screen at boot.
[Disabled] Shows the POST messages at boot.
