5.3 ADVANCED CMOS SETUP

The 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.

Advanced CMOS Setup

Quick Boot

This category speeds up Power On Self Test (POST) after you power on the computer. If it is set to Enabled,
BIOS will shorten or skip some check items during POST.

1st Boot Device

2nd Boot Device

3rd Boot Device

4th Boot Device

These options determine where the system looks first for an operating system.

S.M.A.R.T for Hard Disks

S.M.A.R.T is abbreviation of Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. It is reliable and precautious
technology. When Hard Disk disorder, it prevents Hard Disk from the loss of data.

Boot Up Num-Lock

This item is used to activate the Num-Lock function upon system boot. If the setting is on, after a boot, the
Num-Lock light is lit, and user can use the number key.

Floppy Drive Swap

The option reverses the drive letter assignments of your floppy disk drives in the Swap A, B setting, otherwise leave
on the setting of Disabled (No Swap). This works separately from the BIOS Features floppy disk swap feature. It
is functionally the same as physically interchanging the connectors of the floppy disk drives. When <Enabled>, the
BIOS swapped floppy drive assignments so that Drive A becomes Drive B, and Drive B becomes Drive A under
DOS.

Floppy Drive Seek

If the item is setting Enabled, the BIOS will seek the floppy drive one time upon boot up.
