CPU Internal Cache : The default setting is “Enabled”. This setting enables the CPU
internal cache.
External Cache : The default setting is “Enabled”. This setting enables the external
cache.
Quick Power On Self Test : The default setting is “Enabled”. This speeds up the
Power On Self Test (POST) by skipping some items that are normally checked during the
full POST. If your system is functioning normally, you can choose this feature to speed
the booting process.
Boot Sequence : The default setting is “A:,C SCSI”; the other options are “C,A,SCSI”;
“C,CDROM,A”; “CDROM,C,A”; “D,A,SCSI”; “E,A,SCSI”; “F,A,SCSI”; “SCSI,A,C”;
“SCSI,C,A”; “C only”; and “LS/ZIP,C”. This setting determines where the computer
looks first for an operating system, the hard disk, or the floppy disk, … or other. The
BIOS will load the operating system from the disk drives in the sequence as selected
here.
Swap Floppy Drive : The default setting is “Disabled”. This setting gives you an option
to swap A and B floppy disks. Normally, the floppy drive A is the one at the end of the
cable and drive B is at the other end. If you set this option to “Enabled”, the Drive A will
function as Drive B, and vice-versa under the DOS.
Boot Up Floppy Seek : The defaults setting is “Disabled”. When enabled, the BIOS
will check whether there is a floppy disk drive installed.
Boot Up Numlock Status : The default setting is “On”. If set “Off”, the cursor controls
will function on the numeric keypad.

up.

card. The other option is “Normal”.

typematic rate and typematic delay.
