SEH-9450-LAS 47
Virus Warning When enabled, you receive a warning message if a program (specifically, a virus) attempts to write to the
boot sector or the partition table of the hard disk drive. You should then run an anti-virus program.
Keep in mind that this feature protects only the boot sector, not the entire hard drive.
CAUTION
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.
Enabled
Activates automatically when the system boots up causing a
warning message to appear when any-thing attempts to
access the boot sector or hard disk partition table.
Disabled No warning message will appear when anything attempts to
access the boot sector or hard disk partition table.

Description Choice
CPU L1 & L2 Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is faster than
conventional DRAM. These allow you to enable (speed up
memory access) or disable the cache function.
Quick Power On Self Test
Select Enabled to reduce the amount of time required to run
the power-on self-test (POST). A quick POST skips certain
steps. We recommend that you normally disable quick
POST. Better to find a problem during POST than lose
data during your work
