Boot Up NumLock Status
Toggle between On or Off to control the state of the NumLock key
when the system boots. When toggled On, the numeric keypad
generates numbers instead of controlling cursor operations.
The choices: On, Off.
Gate A20 Option
Gate A20 refers to the way the system addresses memory above 1
MB (extended memory). When set to Fast, the system chipset
controls Gate A20. When set to Normal, a pin in the keyboard
controller controls Gate A20. Setting Gate A20 to Fast improves
system speed, particularly with OS/2 and Windows.
The choices: Fast, Normal.
Typematic Rate Setting
Key strokes repeat at a rate determined by the keyboard controller.
When enabled, the typematic rate and typematic delay can be
selected.
The choices: Enabled/Disabled.
Typematic Rate
When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can select a
typematic rate ( the rate at which character repeats when you hold
down a key) of 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30.
Typematic Delay
When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can select a
typematic delay (the delay before key strokes begin to repeat) of
250, 500, 750 or 1000 milliseconds.
