Initial Display Mode
This option determines the display screen with which the POST is going
to start the display. The settings for this option are BIOS or Silent. If
selected as BIOS, the POST will start with the normal sign-on message
screen. If Silent is selected, the POST will start with the silent scree
n.
Display Mode at Add-on ROM Init
This option determines the display mode during add-on ROM (except
Video add-on ROM) initialization. The settings for this option are Force
BIOS or Keep Current. If selected as Force BIOS, the POST will force
the display to be changed to BIOS mode before giving control to any add-
on ROM. If no add-on ROM is found, then the current display mode will
remain unchanged even if this setup question is selected as Force BIOS.
If selected as Keep Current, then the current display mode will remain
unchanged.

Hard Disk Access Control

S.M.A.R.T. for Hard Disks
S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a
technology developed to manage the reliability of the hard disk by
predicting future device failures. The hard disk needs to be S.M.A.R.T.
capable. The settings for this option are Disabled or Enabled. *Note:
S.M.A.R.T. cannot predict all future device failures. S.M.A.R.T.
should be used as a warning tool, not as a tool to predict the
device reliability.
Boot Up Num-Lock
Settings for this option are On or Off. When this option is set to On, the
BIOS turns off the Num Lock key when the system is powered on. This
will enable the end user to use the arrow keys on both the numeric
keypad and the keyboard.
