Floppy 3 Mode Support Allows you to specify whether the installed floppy disk drive is 3-mode floppy disk drive, a Japanese standard floppy disk drive. Options are: Disabled (default), Drive A. Halt on Allows you to determine whether the system will stop for an error during the POST. ►► No Errors The system boot will not stop for any error. ►► All Errors Whenever the BIOS detects a non-fatal error the system boot will stop. ►► All, But Keyboard The system boot will not stop for a keyboard error but stop for all other errors. (Default) ►► All, But Diskette The system boot will not stop for a floppy disk drive error but stop for all other errors. ►► All, But Disk/Key The system boot will not stop for a keyboard or a floppy disk drive error but it will stop for all other errors. Memory These fields are read-only and are determined by the BIOS POST. ►► Base Memory Also called conventional memory. Typically, 640 KB will be reserved for the MS-DOS operating system. ►► Extended Memory The amount of extended memory. ►► Total Memory The total amount of memory installed on the system. - 47 - BIOS Setup 2-5 Advanced BIOS Features o- Hard Disk Boot Priority Specifies the sequence of loading the operating system from the installed hard drives. Use the up or down arrow key to select a hard drive, then press the plus key <+> (or ) or the minus key <-> (or ) to move it up or down on the list. Press to exit this menu when finished. o- First/Second/Third Boot Device Specifies the boot order from the available devices. Use the up or down arrow key to select a device and press to accept. Options are: Floppy, LS120, Hard Disk, CDROM, ZIP, USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, USB-CDROM, USB-HDD, Legacy LAN, Disabled. o- Password Check Specifies whether a password is required every time the system boots, or only when you enter BIOS Setup. After configuring this item, set the password(s) under the Set Supervisor/User Password item in the BIOS Main Menu. ►►Setup A password is only required for entering the BIOS Setup program. (Default) ►► System A password is required for booting the system and for entering the BIOS Setup o- HDD S.M.A.R.T. Capability Enables or disables the S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology) capability of your hard drive. This feature allows your system to report read/write errors of the hard drive and to issue warnings when a third party hardware monitor utility is installed. (Default: Disabled) o- CPU Multi-Threading (Note) Allows you to determine whether to enable all CPU cores and multi-threading function when using an Intel® CPU that supports multi-core technology. This feature only works for operating systems that support multi-processor mode. ►► Enabled Enables all CPU cores and multi-threading capability. (Default) ►► Disabled Enables only one CPU core. (Note) This item is present only if you install a CPU that supports this feature. For more information about Intel CPUs' unique features, please visit Intel's website. program. GA-EP45-DS4P/DS4 Motherboard - 48 - ö“ Limit CPUID Max. to 3 (Note) Allows you to determine whether to limit CPUID maximum value. Set this item to Disabled for Windows XP operating system; set this item to Enabled for legacy operating system such as Windows NT4.0. (Default: Disabled) No-Execute Memory Protect (Note) Enables or disables Intel® Execute Disable Bit function. This function may enhance protection for the computer, reducing exposure to viruses and malicious buffer overflow attacks when working with its supporting software and system. (Default: Enabled) o' CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E) (Note) Enables or disables Intel® CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E) function, a CPU power-saving function in system halt state. When enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption. (Default: Enabled) ö“ C2/C2E State Support (Note) Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C2/C2E mode in system halt state. When enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to descrease power consumption. (Default: Disabled) ö“ C4/C4E State Support (Note) Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C4/C4E mode in system halt state. When enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to descrease power consumption. C4/C4E state is a more enhanced ...
