3 ► APIC Mode (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) This item is used to enable or disable APIC function. APIC interrupt subsystems can have as many IRQs as are required in a specific machine. APICs are beneficial for the following reasons : • APICs can contribute to resolving resource conflicts in the PC platform. • Windows operating systems have been designed with APICs in mind. • APICs are necessary for enabling new features in the PCI specification. ► MPS Version Control For OS (Multi-Processor Specification) This feature is only applicable to multiprocessor motherboards as it specifies the version of the MPS that the motherboard will use. The MPS is a specification by which PC manufacturers design and build Intel architecture systems with two or more processors. MPS 1.1 was the original specification. MPS version 1.4 adds extended configuration tables for improved support of multiple PCI bus configurations and greater expandability in the future. In addition, MPS 1.4 introduces support for a secondary PCI bus without requiring a PCI bridge. If your operating system comes with support for MPS 1.4, you should keep the setting as the default 1.4. You also need to enable MPS 1.4 support if you need to make use of the secondary PCI bus on a motherboard that doesn't come with a PCI bridge. You should only leave it as 1.1 only if you are running an older operating system that only supports MPS 1.1. ► OS Select For DRAM>64MB This item is only required if you have installed more that 64MB of memory and you are running the OS/2 operating system. ► Report No FDD For Win 95 If you are using the Windows 95 and running a system with no floppy drive, select "Yes" for this item to ensure compatibility with Windows 95 logo certification. ► HDD Detection Delay (s) This item allows you to select the delay for detecting ATA/ATAPI devices while booting. Time out value: 0~15s. ► Display Full Screen Logo This item allows you to enable or disable to show full screen logo. ► Display Quantum Logo This item allows you to enable or disable to show the Quantum logo. ► Display Summary Screen This item allows you to enable or disable to show the summary screen. ► Debug Code Control This item allows you to select debug code control mode. Select "LPC", you can use onboard 80 LED; Select "PCI", you must insert debug card into PCI slot. ► System BIOS Cacheable Select "Enabled" to allow caching of the system BIOS which may improve performance. If any other program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. 29

This item is used to enable or disable APIC function.
APIC interrupt subsystems can have as many IRQs as are required in a specific machine.
APICs are beneficial for the following reasons :
• APICs can contribute to resolving resource conflicts in the PC platform.
• Windows operating systems have been designed with APICs in mind.
• APICs are necessary for enabling new features in the PCI specification.
► MPS Version Control For OS
(Multi-Processor Specification)
This feature is only applicable to multiprocessor motherboards as it specifies the version of the
MPS that the motherboard will use. The MPS is a specification by which PC manufacturers
design and build Intel architecture systems with two or more processors. MPS 1.1 was the
original specification. MPS version 1.4 adds extended configuration tables for improved
support of multiple PCI bus configurations and greater expandability in the future. In addition,
MPS 1.4 introduces support for a secondary PCI bus without requiring a PCI bridge.
If your operating system comes with support for MPS 1.4, you should keep the setting as
the default 1.4. You also need to enable MPS 1.4 support if you need to make use of the
secondary PCI bus on a motherboard that doesn't come with a PCI bridge.
You should only leave it as 1.1 only if you are running an older operating system that only
supports MPS 1.1.
► OS Select For DRAM>64MB
This item is only required if you have installed more that 64MB of memory and you are running
the OS/2 operating system.
► Report No FDD For Win 95
If you are using the Windows 95 and running a system with no floppy drive, select “Yes“ for
this item to ensure compatibility with Windows 95 logo certification.
