. The
Boot Options Submenu appears allowing parameters that affect the boot process to be set.

The Boot Options Submenu lets you check or change the following bootup parameters:
Boot Sequence
System Cache
Boot Speed
NumLock
Speaker
Setup Prompt
Hard Disk Pre-Delay
Typematic Rate Programming
Power-on COM1 Ring.
Boot Sequence
The BIOS attempts to load the operating system in the sequence listed here. The defaults
are as follows:
First boot device
−
CD-ROM
Second boot device
−
diskette drive
Third boot device
−
hard disk
Fourth boot device
−
disabled.
System Cache
The default for the System Cache field is “Enabled.” This field controls both the primary
and secondary caches. Setting the system cache to “Disabled” will hurt performance. This
might be required, however, when running software that utilizes software timing loops and
needs to be slowed down to execute properly.
Boot Speed
Boot speed refers to the system CPU cycles. The default boot speed is “Turbo.” “De-turbo”
mode slows the CPU by disabling the system cache and adding increased refresh cycles.
