Anti-Virus
The Anti-Virus option checks for the presence of a virus on an IDE drive
configured as the boot device. If a virus is detected, the BIOS prevents data
from being saved to the boot sector and system files on the IDE drive.
Note:
SCSI hard disk drives are not checked by the Anti-Virus BIOS
option.
When Anti-Virus is enabled, diskettes cannot be formatted unless a quick
format is executed, which does not write to Track 0 on the diskette. A
format that writes to Track 0 will not be performed. The default is Disabled
to allow formatting of diskettes in all circumstances.
Default Menu
The BIOS contains three configurations stored in CMOS RAM: Original
BIOS defaults, Optimal BIOS defaults, and Fail-safe BIOS defaults. The
Original BIOS defaults are the last current BIOS values used in the system.
The Optimal BIOS defaults are used in the delivered system. The Fail-safe
BIOS defaults are recommended when there has been a system failure.
Original
Selecting the Original icon loads the last current BIOS values. These values
are the most stable values that can be chosen for system performance. Use
this option as a diagnostic aid if the system is unstable.
➤
To load the Original BIOS defaults:
1.
Select the Original icon to load the last used BIOS settings. The
following message displays:

2.
Select Yes to accept the values, or No to reject them.
3.
Power off and restart the workstation for the values to take effect.
