Note Scanning for Option ROMs on devices behind a PCI bridge cannot be disabled.
PCI Device x Option ROM Scan—This setting selects whether PCI
device x will be scanned for an option ROM. Setting this option to Enabled
allows the BIOS to scan for a PCI option ROM on this PCI device. Setting
to Disabled prevents the BIOS from detecting option ROMs on this device.
Setting to Disabled does not completely disable the PCI device, just the
option ROM scan. The default is Enabled.
Security Menu
Use this menu to enable BIOS security options.
Set User Password—This setting allows you to specify a password that
must be entered to boot the system. To activate this feature, you must first
specify a Supervisor password and enable the Password on boot feature.
By default, no password is specified.
Set Supervisor Password—This setting allows you to specify a password
that must be entered to access the BIOS setup options. By default, no
password is specified.
Password on Boot—This setting controls whether or not a password is
required to boot the system. If enabled, the user must enter the User
Password to boot the system. The default setting is Disabled.
Write Protect Boot Sector—When set to Yes, this setting prevents
modification of a hard disk boot sector via INT 13h services, which may
help prevent certain computer viruses from infecting the controller. This
setting does not prevent boot sector modification by 32-bit operating
system drivers that access the hard disk directly. The default is No.
Boot Setup Menu
This screen displays the boot order of devices associated with the
controller. The BIOS proceeds down the Boot priority order list in search
of a bootable device. Devices under the Excluded from boot order list
will not be used for booting. If the BIOS fails to find any bootable device,
the message
Operating System Not Found is displayed, and the
system halts.
