Security Option:
This option can be set to System or to Setup.
After you have created a password through PASSWORD SETTING, this
option will deny access to your system (System) or modification of computer
setup (BIOS Setup) by unauthorized users.
ä
SYSTEM: When you choose System, a password is required each time
the computer boots up. If the correct password is not given,
the system will not start.
ä
SETUP: When you choose Setup, a password is required only when
accessing the BIOS Setup. If you have not set a password in the
PASSWORD SETTING option, this option is not available.
Notice: Don’t forget your password. If you forget the password, you will have to open the
computer case and clear all information in the CMOS before you can start up the
system. But doing this, you have to reset all the options you had set up before.
PCI /VGA Palette Snoop:
This option allows the BIOS to preview VGA Status, and to modify the
information delivered from the Feature Connector of the VGA card to the
MPEG Card. This option can solve the display inversion to black after you
have used the MPEG card.
OS Select For DRAM > 64MB:
When the system memory is bigger than 64MB, the communication method
between the BIOS and the operating system will differ from one operating
system to another. If you use OS/2, select OS2; if you choose another
operating system, select Non-OS2.
Report No FDD For WIN 95:
When using Windows 95 without floppy drive , please set this item to Yes.
Delay For HDD (Secs):
This item is used to support some old model or special type of hard disks or
CD-ROMs , since the BIOS may not detect those kinds of devices during
system booting .
