[. . . ] However, if you find that a drive cannot be automatically detected, you can use these items to select USER, and then manually enter the characteristics of the drive. The documentation provided with your drive provides the data you need to fill in the values for CYLS (cylinders), HEAD (read/write heads), and so on. The documentation provided with the drive may not tell you what value to use under the MODE heading. If the drive is larger than 528 MB and it supports Logical Block Addressing, set MODE to LBA. Very few high-capacity drives do not support Logical Block Addressing. If you have such a drive, you might be able to configure it by setting the MODE to Large. If you're not sure which MODE setting is required by your drive, set MODE to Auto and let the setup utility try to determine the mode automatically. Drive A and Drive B Default: None , None These items define the characteristics of any diskette drive attached to the system. Floppy 3 Mode Support Default: Disabled Floppy 3 mode refers to a 3. 5" diskette with a capacity of 1. 2 MB. Video Default: EGA/VGA This item defines the video mode of the system. This mainboard has a built-in VGA graphics system so you must leave this item at the default value. Halt On Default: All Errors This item defines the operation of the system POST (Power On Self Test) routine. You can use this item to select which kind of errors in the POST are sufficient to halt the system. They are automatically detected by the system so you cannot manually make changes to these items.

The setup utility will then automatically configure the system with the correct host bus speed, and bus frequency multiplier. If you set this item to Manual, two new items will appear: CPU Host BUS Frequency and CPU Core:Bus Freq. You can use these two items to manually configure the mainboard for the speed of the processor. The values available in these two items will vary, according to the kind of Pentium-II processor that is installed. Note: Using the three items above, you can configure the mainboard so that it runs a processor faster than the rated clock speed. Overclocking can introduce excess heat, recurring instability, or even complete failure in your system. CPU Core Voltage Default: Default This item can be used to a set a core voltage for different kinds of processors. Leave this item at the default value and your system will automatically assign the correct voltage. CPU Clock Failed Reset Default: Disabled If this item is enabled, and your system crashes three times because you have overclocked the processor, this item will automatically adjust the speed of the processor to the system bus speed multiplied by two. 27 CIH Buster Protection Default: Enabled Anti-Virus Protection Default: Enabled When "CIH Buster Protection" item is enabled it provided some protection against viruses which try to destroy BIOS viruses (especially for CIH).
