Quick Power On Self Test
This option speeds up the Power-On Self Test (POST) conducted
as soon as the computer is turned on. When enabled, BIOS
shortens or skips some of the items during the test. When disabled,
the computer conducts normal POST procedures.
Boot Sequence
This function determines the sequence in which the computer will
search the drives for the disk operating system (i.e. DOS). The
user can define boot sequences from following devices:
Floppy
HDD-0
SCSI
CDROM
HDD-1
HDD-2
HDD-3
Boot Up Floppy Seek
During POST, BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive
installed is 40 or 80 tracks. A 360 KB type drive is 40 tracks;
while 720 KB, 1.2 MB, and 1.44 MB type drives are all 80 tracks.
Enabled BIOS searches the floppy drive to determine if it is 40 or
80 tracks. Note that BIOS cannot differentiate 720 KB, 1.2 MB,
and 1.44 MB type drives as they are all 80 tracks.
Disabled BIOS will not search for the floppy drive type by track
number. Note that there will not be any warning message if the
drive installed is 360 KB.
