Chapter 4. Configuring your computer

USB Setup:

Select this choice to configure the USB ports in your computer. The

USB Support setting can be Enabled or Disabled. USB device support determines
whether BIOS support for USB devices will be enabled when you startup the
computer.

Parallel Port Setup:

Select this choice to configure the parallel port of your

computer. If the port is set to Enabled, you can set the base input/output (I/O)
address, the interrupt, and the direct memory address (DMA). If the port is set to
Automatic, the operating system automatically configures these settings.

Video Setup:

Select this choice to view the Video Setup menu. Select Active Video

determines which video mode will be active when you startup your computer. You can
select PCI, AGP, or Integrated in the menu. If the selected video is not available, the
computer will select a default video.

IDE Drives Setup:

Select this choice to view or change the settings for IDE drives 0,

1, 2, or 3. You can set each drive for Compatible or High Performance. If an IDE
device attached to the system board IDE controller does not function properly or

operating system starts. For example, you can define a startup sequence that checks

and then checks a network adapter.

You can enable a virus-detection test that checks for changes in the master boot
record at startup.
