4. BIOS SETUP

(system memory). Some CPU integrate a build-in Cache memory to speed up the data

transfer. This item allows you to enable or disable the inter Cache.

4.4.3 External Cache

Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM

(system memory). When the CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested data

from the main DRAM into cache memory, for even faster access by the CPU. The

External Cache field may not appear if your system does not have external cache

memory.

4.4.4 CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking

To set at Enabled activates the Error Check & Correction feature of the CPU L2 cache.

The options are: Enabled (Default), Disabled.

4.4.5 Quick Power On Self Test

When enabled, allows the BIOS to bypass the extensive memory test. The options are:

Enabled (Default), Disabled.

4.4.6 Boot Sequence

The original IBM PCs loaded the DOS operating system from drive A (floppy disk), so

IBM PC-compatible systems are designed to search for an operating system first on

drive A, and then on drive C (hard disk). However, the BIOS now offers 10 different

boot sequences options of three drive each. In addition to the traditional drives A and

C, options include IDE hard drives D, E, and F; plus a SCSI hard drive and a CD-ROM

drive.

4.4.7 Swap Floppy Drive

Allows you to switch the order in which the operating system accesses the floppy

drives during boot up. The options are Enabled, Disabled (Default)

4.4.8 Boot Up Floppy Seek

When Enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to determine whether they have 40

floppy drives, we recommend that you set this field to Disabled to save time.
