PS/2 Mouse Function Control
If you have installed a serial pointing device and your system has a PS/2
mouse port you should disable this option.
OS Select For DRAM > 64MB
Only select OS2 if you are running an OS/2 operating system with a RAM
greater than 64 Mb. Otherwise, for all other operating systems, use the default
setting “Non-OS2”.
HDD S.M.A.R.T Capability
You may “enable” this option if your Hard Drive supports the S.M.A.R.T tech-
nology (Self Monitoring Analysis Reporting Technology) feature. S.M.A.R.T will
monitor and report your Hard Drive health status. Ask your Hard Drive vendor
for more information. (Note: Using this feature may decrease system
performance.)
Boot Up NumLock Status
This controls the state of the NumLock key when the system boots. This field is
toggled between On or Off. When it is on the numeric keypad generates
numbers instead of controlling the cursor operations. When it is off the
numeric keypad controls cursor operations and does not generate numbers.
Gate A20 Option
Gate A20 is a signal that gives the system access to addresses higher than
A19. If you select Fast the chipset will control this signal. If you select normal
a pin in the keyboard controller will control the signal.
Typematic Rate Setting
The keyboard controller determines the rate at which the keystrokes from the
keyboard are repeated. If enabled the typematic rate and the typematic delay
can be selected.
Typematic Rate
The rate a character will repeat itself on the screen when you hold down a key.
Typematic Delay
This is the delay time (Msec) before the repetition of characters starts.
Security Option
This field allows you to select the “Setup” or “System” security option. It works
concurrently with the “ Set Supervisor Password” in the main menu.
When the "Setup" option is selected, you will be prompted to enter your
"Password" before you can start the BIOS CMOS Setup Utility. When you select
"System" option, you will be prompted to enter your password in order to load
the Operating System.
TIP:
If you forget your password you can use Jumper 8 (JP8) to clear the password by
erasing the CMOS Real Time Clock (RTC) Ram. Please see section 2.9.4 on page 24.
