Figure 2– 8. Setup 3 — BIOS Features Setup
This Setup screen allows you to configure the following parameters:
! Virus Warning — monitors for writes to the hard disk boot sector. If a write is detected, the
BIOS will display the following warning message, beep the speaker, and wait for user
confirmation.
!!! WARNING !!!

type "Y" to accept, any key to abort
Award Software, Inc.
! CPU Internal Cache — enable or disable the CPU internal cache.
! Quick Power On Self Test — when enabled, the POST will skip some non-essential tests
(such as repetitive memory tests) in order to shorten the POST time.
! Boot Sequence — determines the order in which drives should be searched by the disk
operating system. Options are [A, C], [C, A], [A, SCSI], [SCSI, A], [CD, A, C], [C only], and
[SCSI only]. (“C” refers to an IDE drive, and “CD” refers to an IDE CD-ROM drive.)
! Swap Floppy Drive — If two floppy drives are connected to the system, drive A becomes drive
B and vice-versa.
! Boot Up Floppy Seek — during POST, the BIOS performs a seek test to determine if the drive
is 40 or 80 tracks (360K drives have 40 tracks, other drives have 80 tracks).
