Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can select a typematic rate (the rate at
which a character repeats when you hold down a key) of 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24 or 30
characters per second.
Typematic Delay (ms)
When the typematic rate setting is enabled, you can select a typematic delay (the delay
before key strokes begin to repeat) of 250, 500, 750 or 1000 milliseconds.
Security Option
If you have set a password, select whether the password is required every time the
System boots, or only when you enter Setup.
PS/2 Mouse Function Control
If your system has a PS/2 mouse port and you instal a serial pointing device,
select Disabled.
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
Your BIOS Setup may not contain this field. If the field is present, leave at Disabled.
OS Select for DRAM>64MB
Select OS2 only if you are running the OS/2 operating system with greater than 64 MB
of RAM in your system.
Report No FDD for WIN 95
Select Yes to release IRQ6 when the system contains no floppy drive, for compatibility
with Windows 95 logo certification. In the Integrated Peripherals screen, select
Disabled for the Onboard FDC Controller field.
Shadow
Software that resides in a read-only memory (ROM) chip on a device is called firmware.
The Award BIOS permits shadowing of firmware such as the system BIOS, video BIOS,
and similar operating instructions that come with some expansion peripherals, such as,
for example, a SCSI adaptor.
Shadowing copies firmware from ROM into system RAM, where the CPU can read it
through the 16-bit or 32-bit DRAM bus. Firmware not shadowed must be read by the
system through the 8-bit X-bus. Shadowing improves the performance of the system
BIOS and similar ROM firmware for expansion peripherals, but it also reduces the
amount of high memory (640 KB to 1 MB) available for loading device drivers, etc.
Enable shadowing into each section of memory separately. Many system designers
hardwire shadowing of the system BIOS and eliminate a System BIOS Shadow option.
Video BIOS shadows into memory area C0000-C7FFF. The remaining areas shown on
the BIOS Features Setup screen may be occupied by other expansion card firmware. If
an expansion peripheral in your system contains ROM-based firmware, you need to
know the address range the ROM occupies to shadow it into the correct area of RAM.
