Award BIOS Setup Utility
3.1.2.7 Boot Up NumLock Status
This allows you to determine the default state of the numeric
keypad. By default, the system boots up with NumLock on wherein
the function of the numeric keypad is the number keys. When set to
Off, the function of the numeric keypad is the arrow keys.
3.1.2.8 Typematic Rate Setting
Disabled
Continually holding down a key on your keyboard will
cause the BIOS to repor t that the key is down.
Enabled
The BIOS will not only repor t that the key is down,
but will first wait for a moment, and, if the key is still
down, it will begin to repor t that the key has been
depressed repeatedly. For example, you would use such
a feature to accelerate cursor movements with the ar-
row keys. You can then select the typematic rate and
typematic delay in the “Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)”
and “Typematic Delay (Msec)” fields below.
3.1.2.9 Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
This field allows you to select the rate at which the keys are acceler-
ated.
3.1.2.10 Typematic Delay (Msec)
This field allows you to select the delay between when the key was
first depressed and when the acceleration begins.
3.1.2.11 Security Option
This field determines when the system will prompt for the password
- ever ytime the system boots or only when you enter the BIOS
setup. Set the password in the Set Supervisor/User Password
submenu.
