CPU Internal Cache/External Cache

These two categories speed up memory access when enabled.

Enabled	Enable cache (Default).
Disabled	Disable cache.

Quick Power On Self Test

This category speeds up the power-on self-test (POST) after you power up the computer. If it is set to Enable, BIOS will shorten or skip some check items during POST.

Enabled	Enable quick POST.
Disabled	Normal POST (Default).

Boot Sequence

This category determines which drive to search first for the disk operating system (i.e., DOS). Default value is A, C.

C, A	System will first search for hard disk drive, then floppy disk drive.
A, C	System will first search for floppy disk drive, then hard disk drive.

Boot Up Floppy Seek

During POST, BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive installed is 40 or 80 tracks. 360K type is 40 tracks, while 760K, 1.2M and 1.44M are all 80 tracks.

Enabled	BIOS searches the floppy disk drive to determine if it is 40 or 80
	tracks. Note that BIOS cannot differentiate the 720K, 1.2M and
	1.44M drive types, as they are all 80 tracks (Default).
Disabled	BIOS will not search for the type of floppy disk drive by track
	number. Note that there will not be any warning message if the
	drive installed is 360K.

Boot Up NumLock Status

On	Keypad is number keys.
Off	Keypad is arrow keys.
