Advanced BIOS Features
► Hard Disk Boot Priority
This option is used to select the Priority for HDD startup. After pressing <Enter>, you can
select the HDD using the Up/Down arrow keys, and change the HDD priority using <PageUp>/
<PageDown>; you can exit this menu by pressing <Esc>.
► Virus warning
This item is used to set up the virus warning message for the IDE HDD boot sector. When set
to enabled, a warning message will appear on the screen if any program wants to write any
information to this sector, and will give out a warning sound.
Note: Such function provides protection to the startup sector only; it dose not protect the entire
hard disk.
► First/Second/Third Boot Device
These three options allow you to select the priority of boot sequence from different devices.
► Boot Other Device
With this function set to enable, the system will boot from some other devices provided that the
rst/second/third boot devices failed. The setting values are: Disabled and Enabled.
► Boot Up Floppy Seek
This item controls whether the BIOS will be checking for a oppy drive while booting up. If it
cannot detect one (either due to improper conguration or physical unavailability), it will appear
an error message. Disabling this function, then POST will not detect the oppy.
► Boot Up NumLock Status
This item denes if the keyboard Num Lock key is active when your system is started. The
available settings are: On (default) and Off.
► Gate A20 Option
This feature determines how Gate A20 is used to address memory above 1MB. When this
option is set to Fast, the motherboard chipset controls the operation of Gate A20. But when
set to Normal, a pin in the keyboard controller controls Gate A20. Setting Gate A20 to Fast
improves memory access speed and thus, overall system speed, especially with OS/2 and
Windows. This is because OS/2 and Windows enter and leave protected mode via the BIOS
a lot so Gate A20 needs to switch often from enabled to disabled and back again. Setting this
