Nvidia 754 specifications Init Display First

BIOS

Init Display First

This item is used to select whether to initialize the PCI-E or PCI first when the system boots.

Options: PCI Slot, PCIEx.

Virus Warning

During and after system boot up, any attempt to write to the boot sector or partition table of the hard disk drive halts the system and an error message appears. 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.

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 appears 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.

First /Second/Third Boot Device

The BIOS attempts to load the operating system from the devices in the sequence selected in these items.

Boot Other Device

When enabled, the system searches all other possible locations for an operating system if it fails to find one in the devices specified under the first, second, and third boot devices.

Boot Up Floppy Seek

If this item is enabled, it checks the size of the floppy disk drives at start-up time. You don’t need to enable this item unless you have a legacy diskette drive with 360K capacity.

Options: Enabled, Disabled.

Boot Up NumLock Status
