Virus Protection
This option protects the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk against accidental modifications. Any
attempt to write to them will cause the system to halt and display a warning message. If this occurs, you can either
allow the operation to continue or use a bootable virus-free floppy disk to reboot and investigate your system. The
default setting is <Disabled>. This setting is recommended because it conflicts with new operating systems.
Installation of new operating system requires that you disable this to prevent write errors.
7.3 ADVANCED CMOS SETUP
The <Advanced CMOS Setup> option consists of configuration entries that allow you to improve your system
performance, or let you set up some system features according to your preference. Some entries here are
required by the CPU board’ s design to remain in their default settings.

Lock light is lit, and user can use the number key.
