The following explains the options for each of the features as listed in the above menu:

Virus Warning: The default setting of Virus Warning is Disabled. When it is enabled, any attempt to write

the boot sector and partition table will halt the system and cause a warning message to appear. If this

happens, you can use an anti-virus utility on a virus free, bootable floppy diskette to reboot, to clean and

to investigate your system.

Quick Power on Self-Test: The default setting is Enabled. This speeds up the Power On Self Test

(POST) by skipping some items that are normally checked during the full POST. If your system is

functioning normally, you can choose this feature to speed up the booting process.

First / Second / Third / Other Boot Device: The BIOS attempts to load the operating system from the

devices in the sequence selected in these items. The settings are Floppy, LS/ZIP, HDD-0/ HDD-1/ HDD-

2/ HDD-3, SCSI, CDROM, LAN, and Disabled.

Swap Floppy Drive: The default setting is Disabled. This setting gives you an option to swap A and B

floppy disks. Normally, the floppy drive A is the one at the end of the cable and drive B is at the other

end. If you set this option to Enabled, the Drive A will function as Drive B, and vice-versa under the DOS.
