options are Disabled and Enabled.

This feature displays "Press DEL to run Setup" during POST. The options are

If enabled, the Watch Dog Timer will allow the system to reboot when it is inactive
for more than 5 minutes. The options are Enabled and Disabled.
Restore on AC Power Loss
Use this feature to set the power state after a power outage. Select Power-Off for
the system power to remain off after a power loss. Select Power-On for the system
power to be turned on after a power loss. Select Last State to allow the system to
resume its last state before a power loss. The options are Power-On, Power-Off

Interrupt 19 Capture
Interrupt 19 is the software interrupt that handles the boot disk function. When this
item is set to Enabled, the ROM BIOS of the host adaptors will "capture" Interrupt
19 at boot and allow the drives that are attached to these host adaptors to function
as bootable disks. If this item is set to Disabled, the ROM BIOS of the host adap-
tors will not capture Interrupt 19, and the drives attached to these adaptors will not
function as bootable devices. The options are Enabled and Disabled.
XProcessor & Clock Options
Warning: Use caution when changing the Advanced settings. An incorrect
value, a very high DRAM frequency or incorrect DRAM timing may cause the
system to become unstable. If this occurs, revert to the default setting.
CPU Ratio
This feature allows the user to use the CPU clock multiplier to multiply CPU speed
in order to enhance performance. Select Manual to Manually set the multiplier set-
ting. Select Auto for the BIOS to automatically select the CPU multiplier setting for
your system. The options are Auto and Manual.
Ratio CMOS Setting
This option allows the user to set the ratio between the CPU Core Clock and the
FSB Frequency. (Note: if an invalid ratio is entered, the AMI BIOS will restore the
setting to the previous state.) The default setting depends on the type of CPU is
installed. The default setting for the Intel® Core i7™ 965 is [24].
