Virus Warning: During and after the system boots up, any attempt to write to the boot sector or partition table of the hard disk drive will halt the system and an error message will appear.

You should then run an anti-virus program to locate the virus. Keep in mind that this feature protects only the boot sector, not the entire hard drive.

The default value is Disabled.

Enabled: Activates automatically when the system boots up causing a warning message to appear when anything attempts to access the boot sector.

Disabled: No warning message will appear when anything attempts to access the boot sector.

Note: Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot sector table can trigger the virus warning message. If you plan to run such a program, we recommend that you first disable the virus warning.

CPU Internal Cache: This controls the status of the processor’s internal cache area. The default is Enabled.

Enabled: This activates the processor’s internal cache thereby increasing performance.

Disabled: This deactivates the processor’s internal cache thereby lowering performance.

External (L2) Cache: This controls the status of the external (L2) cache area. The default is Enabled.

Enabled: This activates the CPU’s L2 cache thereby increasing performance.

Disabled: This deactivates the CPU’s L2 cache thereby lowering performance.

CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking: This control if the CPU’s L2 Cache will support Error Checking and Correcting (ECC). The default is Disabled. Enabled: Enables ECC support for the CPU’s L2 cache. Performance will

decrease 2% ~ 4%.

Disabled: Disables ECC support for the CPU’s L2 cache.

Quick Power On Self Test: This category speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST). The default is Enabled.

Enabled: This setting will shorten or skip of the items checked during POST.

Disabled: Normal POST.
