BIOS Setup  
Max CPUID Value Limit  
The Max CPUID Value Limit BIOS feature allows you to circumvent problems  
with older operating systems that do not support the Intel Pentium 4 processor  
with Hyper-Threading Technology. When enabled, the processor will limit the  
maximum CPUID input value to 03h when queried, even if the processor sup-  
ports a higher CPUID input value. When disabled, the processor will return the  
actual maximum CPUID input value of the processor when queried.  
Execute Disable Bit Capability  
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.  
Hyper Threading Technology  
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. In this way, the system performance is highly improved. If you  
disable the function, the processor will use only one core to execute the  
instructions. Please disable this item if your operating system doesnt  
support HT Function, or unreliability and instability may occur.  
Intel(R) SpeedStep(tm) Tech  
EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) allows the system to dynamically  
adjust processor voltage and core frequency, which can result in decreased  
average power consumption and decreased average heat production.

Quick Boot  
Enabling this setting will cause the BIOS power-on self test routine to skip some  
of its tests during bootup for faster system boot.  
Quiet Boot  
This BIOS feature determines if the BIOS should hide the normal POST mes-  
sages 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. This delay ensures that the logo is displayed for a  
sufficient amount of time. Therefore, it is recommended that you disable this  
BIOS feature for a faster boot-up time.  
Bootup Num-Lock  
This setting is to set the Num Lock status when the system is powered on.  
Setting to [On] will turn on the Num Lock key when the system is powered on.  
Setting to [Off] will allow users to use the arrow keys on the numeric keypad.  
Wait For F1If Error  
When this setting is set to [Enabled] and the boot sequence encounters an  
error, it asks you to press F1. If disabled, the system continues to boot without  
waiting for you to press any keys.  
Flash Write Protection  
This function protects the BIOS from accidental corruption by unauthorized  
users or computer viruses.  
Boot Device Priority, Removable Drives  
The items allow you to set the sequence of boot devices/removable drives. First  
press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu. Then you may use the arrow keys ( ↑↓ ) to  
select the desired device, then press <+>, <-> or <PageUp>, <PageDown> key to  
move it up/down in the priority list.

Supervisor Password / Change Supervisor Password  
Supervisor Password controls access to the BIOS Setup utility. These settings allow  
you to set or change the supervisor password.  
User Password / Change User Password  
User Password controls access to the system at boot. These settings allow you to  
set or change the user password.  
Boot Sector Virus Protection  
This function protects the BIOS from accidental corruption by unauthorized users or  
computer viruses. When enabled, the BIOSdata cannot be changed when attempt-  
ing to update the BIOS with a Flash utility. To successfully update the BIOS, youll  
need to disable this Flash BIOS Protection function.  
You should enable this function at all times. The only time when you need to disable  
it is when you want to update the BIOS. After updating the BIOS, you should immedi-  
ately re-enable it to protect it against viruses.
