486MBS Series Manual
Section 4 Default
The icons in this section permit you to select a group of settings for all WINBIOS Setup options.
Not only can you use these icons to quickly set system configuration parameters, you can choose a
group of settings that have a better chance of working when the system is having configuration-
related problems.
Original
Choose the Original icon to return to the system configuration values present in WINBIOS Setup
when you first began this WINBIOS Setup session.
Optimal
You can load the optimal default settings for the WINBIOS by selecting the Optimal icon. The
Optimal default settings are best-case values that should optimize system performance. If CMOS
RAM is corrupted, the Optimal settings are loaded automatically.
Fail-Safe
You can load the Fail-Safe WINBIOS Setup option settings by selecting the Fail-Safe icon from the
Default section of the WINBIOS Setup main menu. The Fail-Safe settings provide far from opti-
mal system performance, but are the most stable settings. Use this option as a diagnostic aid if the
system is behaving erratically.
