Plug & Play O/S [No]
This field allows you to use a Plug-and-Play (PnP) operating system to
configure the PCI bus slots instead of using the BIOS. When [Yes] is
selected, interrupts may be reassigned by the OS. If you installed a non-
PnP OS or if you want to prevent reassigning of interrupt settings, keep
the default setting [No]. Configuration options: [No] [Yes]
Boot Virus Detection [Enabled]
This field allows you to set boot virus detection, ensuring a virus-free boot
sector. The system halts and displays a warning message when it detects
a virus. If this occurs, you can either allow the operation to continue or use
a virus-free bootable floppy disk to restart and investigate your system.
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Quick Power On Self Test [Enabled]
This field speeds up the Power-On-Self Test (POST) routine by skipping
retesting a second, third, and fourth time. Configuration options: [Disabled]
[Enabled]
Boot Up Floppy Seek [Enabled]
When enabled, the BIOS will seek the floppy disk drive to determine
whether the drive has 40 or 80 tracks. Configuration options: [Disabled]
[Enabled]
Full Screen Logo [Enabled]
This field enables the display of the full screen logo that appears as the
PC boots up. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Make sure that the above item is set to [Enabled] if you wish to use the
ASUS MyLogo2 feature.
Interrupt Mode [APIC]
This item controls the IRQ structure. The new APIC creates a range of IRQs
larger than the standard 16 IRQ channels. The standard setting of PIC limits
the number of IRQs to the standard IRQ0 to IRQ15. Windows 2000 and XP
support APIC settings. Select between new APIC or PIC. Configuration
options: [APIC] [PIC]
