FPC 8084 User’s Manual

Virus Warning

This item protects the boot sector and partition table of the hard disk against accidental modifications. If an attempt is made, the BIOS will halt the system and display a warning message. If this occurs, the user can either continue the operation or run an anti-virus program to locate and remove the problem.

NOTE: Many disk diagnostic programs, which attempt to access the boot sector table, can cause the virus warning. Thus, disable the Virus Warning feature while running any of these programs..

CPU Internal Cache / External Cache

Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type and up contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory. W hen the CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM into cache memory, for even faster access by the CPU. These items are used to enable (speed up memory access) or disable the cache function. By default, these are Enabled.

CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking

When enabled, this allows ECC checking of the CPUs L2 cache. By default, this field is Enabled.

Processor Number Feature

W hen a Pentium® III CPU is installed, the system automatically detects it and displays this item.

Quick Power On Self Test

This option speeds up Power On Self Test (POST) after turning on the system power. If it is set as Enabled, BIOS will shorten or skip some check items during POST. The default setting is ￿Enabled￿.

Enabled

Disabled

Enable Quick POST

Normal POST

First/Second/Third Boot Device

These items allow the selection of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd devices that the system will search for during its boot-up sequence. The wide range of selection includes Floppy, LS120, ZIP100, HDD0~3, SCSI, and CDROM.

Boot Other Device

This item allows the user to enable/disable the boot device not listed on the First/Second/Third boot devices option above. The default setting is Enabled.
