Boot Up Floppy Seek
When enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to determine whether they have 40 or
80 tracks. Only 360-KB floppy drives have 40 tracks; drives with 720 KB, 1.2 MB, and 1.44
MB capacity all have 80 tracks. Very few modern PCs have 40-track floppy drives so we
therefore recommend that you set this field to Disabled to save time.
Boot Up NumLock Status
This controls the state of the NumLock key when the system boots. This field is toggled be-
tween 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.
Typematic Rate Setting
The keyboard controller determines the rate at which the keystrokes from the keyboard are
repeated. If you enable this option then the typematic rate and the typematic delay can be
selected.
Typematic Rate
This is 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: Forgot your password then clear the RTC RAM
If you happen to forget your password you can use Jumper 13 (JP13) to clear the password
by erasing the CMOS Real Time Clock (RTC) Ram. For further details on how to do this
please see section 2.8.5 on page 25.
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.
