stopping. The
option will halt the sys-
tem on any error except a missing keyboard or
video adapter. This latter option is useful for net-
work servers that have keyboards removed or
locks turned off.
When enabled, this option will place the board into
a continuous POST loop. Should an error occur
during the loop, it will be displayed on the screen.
To break out of the loop, press the F2 function key
after the completion of the memory cycle. Note:
This loop requires the use of the same memory that
is used for the user definable drive type. If the
Diagnostic Loop is enabled, the user definable
drive (if any is be used) will have to be reset.
Use this option to enable or disable password pro-
tection. If this field is enabled, the password input
selection screen appears after
for save and exit
has been depressed. Once this option is enabled,
a password must be input before the system will
boot or any change to the SETUP can be made.
Note:
The password is case and space sensitive.
Use caution when selecting a password. Once the
password is enabled, the only way to disable or
change it is with the password previously entered.
DO NOT LOSE THE PASSWORD.
This option
the system board’s ROM BIOS
information from slower ROM type of memory to
faster RAM. Enabling this option will help to in-
crease the performance of the system.
Like the previous shadow option, information that
may reside in ROM in the
and EOOO-EFFF (hex) ranges of mem-
ory are copied from ROM to faster RAM. This
option should not be enabled unless an expansion
board has ROM memory that resides in that ad-
dress block, and no RAM type of memory is used in
that same block.
Note:
If these options are en-
abled, make sure that EMS drivers or “Load High”
routines do not use the corresponding ranges of
shadowed memory.
