BIOS Features Setup
This “BIOS Features Setup” option consists of configuration entries that allow you
to improve your system performance, or let you set up some system features accord-
ing to your preference. Some entries are required by the motherboard’s design to
remain in their default settings.
A section at the lower right of the screen displays the control keys you can use. Take
note of these keys and their respective uses. If you need information on a particular
entry, highlight it and then press <F1>. A pop-up help menu will appear to provide
you with the information you need. <F5> loads the last set values, <F6> and <F7>
loads the BIOS default values and Setup default values, respectively.
NOTE: SETUP Defaults are noted in parenthesis next to each function heading.

Virus Warning (Disabled)
This field protects the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk against acciden-
tal modifications. Any attempt to write to them will cause the system to halt and dis-
play a warning message. If this occurs, you can either allow the operation to continue
or use a bootable virus-free floppy disk to restart and investigate your system. This
setting is recommended because of conflicts with new operating systems. Installation
of new operating systems require that you disable this to prevent write errors.
