Advanced Setup, Continued

3rd Boot Device This option sets the type of device for the third boot drives that the AMIBIOS attempts to boot from after AMIBIOS POST completes. The settings are Disabled, Floptical, Floppy, CDROM, or IDE-0.The Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings are CD-ROM.

4th Boot Device This option sets the type of device for the third boot drives that the AMIBIOS attempts to boot from after AMIBIOS POST completes. The settings are Disabled, Floppy, Floptical, CDROM, or IDE-0.The Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings are CD-ROM.

Try Other Boot Devices Set this option to Yes to instruct AMIBIOS to attempt to boot from any other drive in the system if it cannot find a boot drive among the drives specified in the 1st Boot Device, 2nd Boot Device, 3rd Boot Device, and 4th Boot Device options.

The settings are Yes or No. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings are Yes.

L1/L2 Cache This option sets the type of caching algorithm used by the L1 internal cache memory on the CPU and the L2 secondary cache memory. The settings are WriteBack, WriteThru, or Disabled. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings are WriteBack.

System BIOS Cacheable When set to Enabled, the contents of the F0000h system memory segment can be read from or written to cache memory. The contents of this memory segment are always copied from the BIOS ROM to system RAM for faster execution. The settings are Enabled or Disabled. The Optimal default setting is Enabled. The Fail-Safe default setting is Disabled.
