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.
Typematic Rate Setting
Disabled
Continually holding down a key on your keyboard will
cause the BIOS to report that the key is down.
Enabled
The BIOS will not only report that the key is down,
but will first wait for a moment, and, if the key is still
down, it will begin to report that the key has been
depressed repeatedly. For example, you would use such
a feature to accelerate cursor movements with the
arrow keys. You can then select the typematic rate and
typematic delay in the Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
and Typematic Delay (Msec) fields below.
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
This field allows you to select the rate at which the keys are
accelerated.
Typematic Delay (Msec)
This field 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 Set 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.
