Boot Up NumLock Status
- When
On
, the NumLock key will be automatically enabled
when the system boots.
Boot Up System Speed
- Sets the system speed to High or Low. Generally, low speed
would only be used for troubleshooting purposes.
Typematic Rate Setting
- Determines if the
typematic rate is to be used. When disabled,
continually holding down a key on your keyboard will
generate only one instance. In other words, the BIOS will only report that the key is down.
When the typematic rate is enabled, the BIOS will report as before, but it will then wait a
moment, and, if the key is still down, it will begin to report that the key has been depressed
repeatedly. This feature is used to accelerate cursor movements with the arrow keys.
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
- When the
typematic rate is enabled, this selection allows
you to select the rate at which the keys are
accelerated. See the table to the right:
Typematic Delay (Msec)
- When the typematic
rate is enabled, this selection allows you to select
the delay (in msec) between when the key was
first depressed and when the acceleration begins.
Security Option
- This option enables password checking every time the computer is
powered on
or
every time BIOS Setup is executed. If
System
is chosen, a user password
prompt appears every time the computer is turned on. If
Setup
is chosen, the password
prompt appears only when the BIOS Setup program is executed. Refer to the section
Supervisor Password
for more information.
PCI / VGA Palette Snoop
- This option must be set to
Enabled
if any ISA MPEG card
installed requires VGA palette snooping. The settings are

Assign PCI IRQ For VGA

option allows you to auto-route an IRQ for use
by a PCI VGA card.

Non-OS2
.
Video BIOS Shadow

Video ROM beginning at the C0000h memory location. The settings are:
Enabled
The contents of C0000h-C7FFFh are written to the same address in system memory
(RAM) for faster execution.
