The time format is . ▶▶ SATA1/ 2/ 3/ 4 [Type] Press PgUp/<+> or PgDn/<-> to select [Manual], [None] or [Auto] type. Note that the specifications of your drive must match with the drive table. The hard disk will not work properly if you enter improper information for this category.
￭￭ BIOS Setup [LBA/Large Mode] Enabling LBA causes Logical Block Addressing to be used in place of Cylinders, Heads and Sectors [Block (Multi-Sector Transfer)] Any selection except Disabled determines the number of sectors transferred per block [PIO Mode] Indicates the type of PIO (Programmed Input/Output) [DMA Mode] Indicates the type of Ultra DMA [S.M.A.R.T.] This allows you to activate the S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis & Reporting Technology) capability for the hard disks. S.M.A.R.
MX67QM Advanced ▶▶ Quiet Boot This BIOS feature determines if the BIOS should hide the normal POST messages with the motherboard or system manufacturer’s full-screen logo. When it is enabled, the BIOS will display the full-screen logo during the boot-up sequence, hiding normal POST messages. When it is disabled, the BIOS will display the normal POST messages, instead of the full-screen logo. Please note that enabling this BIOS feature often adds 2-3 seconds of delay to the booting sequence.
￭￭ BIOS Setup ▶▶ Option ROM Messages This item is used to determine the display mode when an optional ROM is initialized during POST. When set to [Force BIOS], the display mode used by AMI BIOS is used. Select [Keep Current] if you want to use the display mode of optional ROM. ▶▶ PCI/PCIE Device Configuration ▶▶ PCI Latency Timer This item controls how long each PCI device can hold the bus before another takes over.
MX67QM ▶▶ Launch Intel 82579 OpROM, Launch Intel 82574 OpROM, Launch JMB368 OpROM This setting enables/disables the initialization of the onboard LAN Boot ROM during bootup. Selecting [Disabled] will speed up the boot process. ▶▶ CPU Configuration ▶▶ Hyper Threading The processor uses Hyper-Threading technology to increase transaction rates and reduces end-user response times. The technology treats the two cores inside the processor as two logical processors that can execute instructions simultaneously.
￭￭ BIOS Setup ▶▶ Execute Disable Bit Intel’s Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of malicious “buffer overflow” attacks when combined with a supporting operating system. This functionality allows the processor to classify areas in memory by where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.
MX67QM ▶▶ Super IO Configuration ▶▶ Serial Port 1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5 This setting enables/disables the specified serial port. ▶▶ Change Settings This setting is used to change the address & IRQ settings of the specified serial port. ▶▶ Mode Select Select an operation mode for the serial port 1. ▶▶ Watch Dog Timer You can enable the system watch-dog timer, a hardware timer that generates a reset when the software that it monitors does not respond as expected each time the watch dog polls it.
