What is the Bois menu?

It has been a long time since I came into contact with the Bois menu. When I learned how to install the system, I only knew several settings related to the USB flash drive installation system. I did not go into the Bois menu. This menu is dangerous, so you are not afraid to act rashly. This is also the case of a Bois brand computer that is different from your own computer. The installation system is helpless, so that you can find that there is a lot of knowledge in this menu. The common ones are not mentioned, but I did not pay attention to them!

 

First, let's take a look at the content in the first menu main:

 

Legacy diskette A: This is an option for configuring a floppy drive. You can choose the type of your soft drive here, such as 1.44 m 3.5in. Of course, at present, more than 80% of users do not need a soft drive when installed, and the usage of the soft drive is getting lower and lower, and the USB flash drive almost replaces everything. For computers without a floppy drive, set it to disabled here to disable the floppy drive detection.

Hard Disk write protect: The following is the write Protection Setting of the hard disk. The setting here is mainly to prevent the BIOS from writing to the hard disk. In fact, it is to prevent the famous CIH virus many years ago. However, there are very few BIOS viruses, so hard disk write protection is useless. We recommend that you disable it.

System Information: This project is actually useless and used to view some basic configurations of the current computer. Such as the CPU model, frequency, number of threads, and memory capacity. Because there are a lot of projects in the advanced menu, it is a waste of time and space if we talk about them one by one, and many settings are useless, so we mainly focus on the advanced menu.

 

Advanced

 

USB configuration: USB functions indicates whether to enable the USB function. For common users, you must enable this function. However, you should select Disabled here. The second option is USB 2.0 controller adjustment. If enabled is selected, the USB interface will work in transmission mode of USB 2.0. if disabled, it will be downgraded to USB 1.1, the speed will be much slower. Most users must enabled this item! The next step is the working mode of the USB 2.0 controller. There are two options: high-speed mode and full-speed mode. However, this is of little significance. Item 4 and item 5 are useless for common users. Keep the default value. Item 6 is a little important, legacy
USB support, which can be understood as "support for traditional USB devices" in Chinese. Do not set it to disabled here, otherwise, the USB keyboard you connect will not be able to identify in bios and DOS. We recommend that you select auto to enable auto when the computer is connected to a traditional USB device. Otherwise, auto is disabled.

 

CPU configuration (CPU configuration): the CPU configuration page is not very useful for common users. The first option is to set the CPU frequency, which is already available in jumperfree configuration, super-frequency players can use it. Other options are of little use. The last project is Intel's famous speedstep technology. If this technology is enabled, the CPU can automatically reduce the frequency when it is idle, thus saving energy, we strongly recommend that you enable this option for notebook users.

 

Chipset (chipset): the chipset here mainly configures the nanqiao chip. But here we often adjust only the second item, initiate graphic adapter, which means what graphics card starts in Chinese. That is to say, when a PCI video card and a PCI-e video card exist in our computer, let the video card work to guide the system. In general, the adjustment here in the integrated motherboard is PCI-E/on board, that is, the first from the independent graphics card boot or from the integrated graphics card boot.

 

Power menu

 

Suspend hode: the first option in the power menu is the suspension mode. for PC, S3 only or auto is recommended. For poser, S1 is recommended.

Acpi apic suppor: the default values can be maintained for several other projects, but here I will mention ACPI APIC support. Many people have encountered that, after the computer is shut down in windows, the computer has been canceled, but it has not been shut down yet. You must press the power switch again before the computer will be shut down. If this is the case, more than 80% of the requests do not enable the acpi apic Support feature. Therefore, this feature must be enabled.

APM Configuration. In BIOS power, there is a restore on AC power loss item. In fact, the above problem can be fixed here. Let's take a look at the Chinese meaning of restore on AC power loss. It can be understood that when the disconnected AC power is restored. The main function here is the status of the computer when the current recovers again after the computer powers off abnormally. There are three options:

Power off (when the current recovers, the computer is shut down)

Power on)

Last State (the last state, that is, the state of power failure)

 

Boot menu

 

Boot device priority: in this project, you can set the device from which the system is prioritized. 1st boot device is the first boot device, 2nd boot device is the second boot device, and so on. If you want to use a CD to install the system, you need to set the 1st boot device to the optical drive menu and find the type of the optical drive you are using. If you want to start the system from the hard drive, then you need to set the hard disk to 1st boot device here.
