Award BIOS Setup Utility

Boot Up NumLock Status

This allows you to determine the default state of the numeric keypad.

By default, the system boots up with NumLock on wherein the function

of the numeric keypad is the number keys. When set to Off, the

function of the numeric keypad is the arrow keys.

DRAM ECC Checking

If you are using

 

x72 (72-bit) PC SDRAM DIMMs, which are DIMMs

that support the ECC (Error Checking and Correction) function, set

this field to Enabled.

Typematic Rate Setting

Enable this field to activate the settings in the “Typematic Rate (Chars/

Sec)” and “Typematic Delay (Msec)” fileds. When this field is set to

Disabled, the settings in the following two fields will not take effect.

Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)

This selection allows you to select the rate at which the keys are

accelerated.

Typematic Delay (Msec)

This selection allows you to select the delay between when the key

was first depressed and when the acceleration begins.

Security Option

This field determines when the system will prompt for the

password - everytime the system boots or only when you enter

the BIOS setup. Set the password in the Supervisor/User

Password submenu.

System

The system will not boot and access to Setup will be

denied unless the correct password is entered at the

prompt.

Setup

The system will boot, but access to Setup will be denied

unless the correct password is entered at the prompt.
