First/Second/Third Boot Device (Floppy/HDD-0/CD-ROM)
Use these three items to select the priority and order of the devices that your
system searches for an operating system at start-up time.
Boot Other Device (Enabled)
When enabled, the system searches all other possible locations for an operat-
ing system if it fails to find one in the devices specified under the First, Second,
and Third boot devices.
Swap Floppy Drive (Disabled)
If you have two floppy diskette drives in your system, this item allows you to
swap the assigned drive letters so that drive A becomes drive B, and drive B
becomes drive A.
Boot Up Floppy Seek (Enabled)
If this item is enabled, it checks the size of the floppy disk drives at start-up

drive with 360K capacity.
Boot Up NumLock Status (On)
This item defines if the keyboard Num Lock key is active when your system is

Typematic Delay (250 Msec):
Use this item to define how many

the default.
HDD S.M.A.R.T Capability (Disabled)
The S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) system
is a diagnostics technology that monitors and predicts device performance.
S.M.A.R.T. software resides on both the disk drive and the host computer.
The disk drive software monitors the internal performance of the motors, me-
dia, heads, and electronics of the drive. The host software monitors the overall
reliability status of the drive. If a device failure is predicted, the host software,
