Typematic Rate Setting
When disabled, continually holding down a key on your keyboard will
generate only one instance. When enabled, you can set the two typematic
controls listed next. By default, this field is set to

When the typematic rate is enabled, the system registers repeated
keystrokes speeds. You can select speed range from 6 to 30 characters
per second. By default, this item is set to
6.
Typematic Delay (Msec)
When the typematic rate is enabled, this item allows you to set the time
interval for displaying the first and second characters. By default, this
item is set to
250msec.
Security Option
This field allows you to limit access to the System and Setup. The default

Password every time you boot up. When you select Setup, the system
always boots up and prompts for the Supervisor Password only when the
Setup utility is called up.
