Functions of your computer
The Display button sets the screen output to be displayed either
with a single video subsystem or with multiple video subsystems.
You can use this function only when you are using a docking station
in which a video adapter card has been installed. If you select
Single, the video adapter card in your docking station is enabled. If
you select Multiple, both the built-in video system and the video
adapter card in your docking station are enabled under the multiple
display environment. If you choose Multiple and do not use the
multiple display function, only the built-in video system is enabled.
The Network button enables or disables the Wake-on-LAN function
(option) or the Flash-over-LAN function (option). You can use these
functions only with a docking station.
The Asset ID button enables or disables the Antenna Security or the
Gate Security. Selecting Antenna prevents the RFID option from
being removed from your computer; selecting Gate prevents your
computer from being taken out through a portal gate. These
security functions are supported in specified models and are
effective only when the supervisor password is set.
The Quick Boot button enables or disables the Simple Boot Flag
function.
Simple Boot Flag function
This function automatically optimizes the behavior and boot
performance of the BIOS and operating system, for the installed
operating system and previous boot.
If this function is Enabled and a Plug-and-Play–capable
operating system, such as Windows 98, is installed, the system
BIOS does not configure such hardware resources as system
interruptions, memory windows, and I/O port ranges for all the
devices in the system.
If you are going to use an operating system that is not
Plug-and-Play–capable, disable this function so that the
BIOS will configure hardware resources.
