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. It will allow the system to recover from memory
failure. It detects single-bit and multiple-bit errors, then automatically
corrects single-bit error.
Typematic Rate Setting
When disabled, continually holding down a key on your keyboard will
cause the BIOS to report that the key is down. When the typematic
rate is 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.
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 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.
