Notice
Don’t forget your password. If you forget the password, you will have to open the
computer case and clear all information in the CMOS before you can start up the system.
But by doing this, you will have to reset all previously set options.
OS Select For DRAM > 64MB:
When the system memory is bigger than 64MB, the communication method between the
BIOS and the operating system will differ from one operating system to another. If you use
OS/2, select
OS2
; if you are using another operating system, select
Non-OS2
. The default
setting is
Non-OS2
.
Report No FDD For WIN 95:
When using Windows
®
95 without a floppy drive, please set this item to
Yes
. Otherwise, set
it to
No
. The default setting is
No
.
Video BIOS Shadow:
This option is used to define whether the BIOS on the video card uses the shadow feature or
not. You should set this option to Enabled, otherwise the display performance of the system
will greatly decrease.
Shadowing address ranges:
This option allows you to decide if the ROM BIOS area of an interface card at a specific
address uses the shadow feature or not. If you have no interface card using this memory
block, don’t enable this option.
You have six address ranges you can select:
C8000-CBFFF Shadow, CC000-CFFFF Shadow, D0000-D3FFF Shadow, D4000-D7FFF
Shadow, D8000-DBFFF Shadow, DC000-DFFFF Shadow.
Computer Knowledge: SHADOW
What is the SHADOW? The BIOS of standard video or interface cards is stored in ROM,
and it is often very slow. With the Shadow feature, the CPU reads the BIOS on the VGA
card and copies it into RAM. When the CPU runs this BIOS, the operation is speeded up.
Delay IDE Initial (Sec):
This item is used to support some old models or special types of hard disks or CD-ROMs.
They may need a longer amount of time to initialize and prepare for activation. Since the
BIOS may not detect those kinds of devices during system booting. You can adjust the value
to fit such devices. Larger values will give more delay time to the device. The minimum
number you can enter is 0, the maximum number you can enter is 15. The default setting is
0
. For best system performance, we strongly suggest you to set it to 0.
