Award BIOS Setup Utility

CPU L1 Cache and CPU L2 Cache

These categories speed up the memory access. The default value is enabled. Enable the external cache for better performance.

CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking

Intel Pentium® II and Pentium® III processors come with built-in Level 2 cache. By default, ECC is enabled to check the Level 2 cache. If you are not using this function, set this field to Disabled.

Processor Serial Number

This field will appear only when you are using a Pentium® III processor. Each Pentium® III processor comes with an individual "processor serial number" which by default is activated. Therefore, when connected to the Internet, Pentium® III processor transmits the serial number online making it possible to track your online activity. The field provides you the option of disabling this function.

Quick Power On Self Test

This category speeds up Power On Self Test (POST) after you power on the system. When Enabled, the BIOS will shorten or skip some check items during POST.

First Boot Device, Second Boot Device, Third Boot Device and Boot Other Device

Select the drive to boot first, second and third in the “First Boot Device” “Second Boot Device” and “Third Boot Device” fields respectively. The BIOS will boot the operating system according to the sequence of the drive selected. The options are: Floppy, LS/ZIP, HDD-0, SCSI, CDROM, HDD-1, HDD-2, HDD-3, LAN and Disable. Set “Boot Other Device” to Enabled if you wish to boot from another device.

Swap Floppy Drive

When this option is enabled and the system is booting from the floppy drive, the system will boot from drive B instead of drive A. When this option is disabled and the system is booting from the floppy drive, the system will boot from drive A. You must have two floppy drives to use this function.
