Boot Setting Configuration
► HDD Boot Priority

select the HDD using the Up/Down arrow keys, and change the HDD priority using <PageUp>/
<PageDown>; you can exit this menu by pressing <Esc>.
► Removable Boot Priority
This option is used to select the Priority for removable device.
► 1st/2nd/3rd Boot Device
These three options allow you to select the priority of boot sequence from different devices.
► Boot Other Devices
With this function set to enable, the system will boot from some other devices provided that the
first/second/third boot devices failed.
► Boot Up NumLock Status
This item defines if the keyboard Num Lock key is active when your system is started. The
available settings are: On (default) and Off.
► Gate A20 Option
This feature determines how Gate A20 is used to address memory above 1MB. When this
option is set to Fast, the motherboard chipset controls the operation of Gate A20. But when
set to Normal, a pin in the keyboard controller controls Gate A20. Setting Gate A20 to Fast
improves memory access speed and thus, overall system speed, especially with OS/2 and
Windows. This is because OS/2 and Windows enter and leave protected mode via the BIOS
a lot so Gate A20 needs to switch often from enabled to disabled and back again. Setting this
feature to Fast improves memory access performance above 1MB because the chipset is
much faster in switching Gate A20 than the keyboard controller. It is recommended that you
set it to Fast for faster memory accesses.
► Security Option
When it is set to “Setup”, a password is required to enter the CMOS Setup screen; When it
is set to “System”, a password is required not only to enter CMOS Setup, but also to start up
your PC.
