FR33E Mainboard Manual

Report No FDD For WIN 95

When the field under the Standard CMOS Setup Menu for Drive A and/or

Drive B is set at None, users must set this field is set at Yes for it to function

properly. Otherwise, set at No, even if field for Drive A and/or Drive B is set

at None, system will still detect and recognize of a floppy drive(s).

The options are: Yes, No.

Security Option

Allows you to set the security level of the system.

The options are: Setup, System.

APIC Mode

Allows you to decide if the system enters the APIC (Advanced Program-

mable Interrupt Controller) mode or not for more IRQs can be released.

MPS Version Control For OS

When two CPUs onboard (not this board) this feature allows you to select

MPS (Multi-Processor Spec.) version control for OS when logo test ex-

ecutes. The options are: 1.1, 1.4.

OS Select For DRAM  > 64MB

If your operating system (OS) is OS/2, select the option OS2. Otherwise,

stay with the default setting Non-OS2.

The options are: Non-OS2, OS2.

HDD S.M.A.R.T. Capability

S.M.A.R.T. stands for Self-Monitoring and Analysis Reporting Technol-

ogy which allows your hard disk drive to report any read/write errors and

issues a warning with LDCM installed.

The options are: Disabled, Enabled.

Typematic Delay (Msec)

This feature is available only if the item, Typematic Rate Setting, is set at

Enabled. Sets the delay time before a character is repeated.

The options are: 250, 500, 750, 1000 millisecond.
