ADVANCED MENU
This section describes the Advanced Menu parameters. Other menu parameters are available

Plug & Play O/S
This option lets you specify whether a Plug and Play-compatible operating system
is being used in your system. Choose “Yes” or “No” (default).
Reset Configuration Data
This option clears the BIOS configuration data on the next boot. The options
include “No” (default) or “Yes.”
NumLock
This option controls whether the NumLock key on the keyboard is on or off at
boot up. The choices are “Auto” (default), “On,” or “Off.”
Peripheral Configuration Submenu
This submenu can be used to configure your system’s ports or peripheral devices. To enter
the submenu, highlight this field, then press
Enter
. The following options appear:
Serial Port A/Serial Port B
These options let you configure your system’s Serial Port A or Serial Port B. You
can choose “Auto” (default), “Enabled,” or “Disabled.” The “Auto” setting causes
the Setup program to assign the first free COM port (for example, COM 1 3F8h,
IRQ4 or COM2, 2F8h, IRQ3). Note that if you set a specific serial port address, it
does not appear in the list of options for the other serial port.
!
CAUTION:
An asterisk symbol
appearing next to an option indicates that the
selected IRQ is set to conflict with another
device.
