options are “CDROM, C, A”, “C, CDROM, A”, “A, C, SCSI”, “D, A,
SCSI”, “E, A, SCSI”, “F, A, SCSI”, “SCSI, A, C”, “SCSI, C, A”,
“LS/ZIP, C” and “C only”. The BIOS will load the operating system
from the disk drives in the sequence selected here.
Swap Floppy Drive: The default setting is “Disable”. This setting
gives you an option to swap A and B floppy disks. Normally the
floppy drive A is the one at the end of the cable, if you set this option
to “Enabled”, the drive at the end of the cable will be swapped to B.
Boot Up Floppy Seek: The default setting is “Disable”. If set to
“Enabled”, during bootup the BIOS will check for installed bootup
disk in the floppy disk drives.
Boot Up Numlock Status: The default setting is “On”. If set to
“Off”, the cursor controls will function on the numeric keypad.
Gate A20 Option: the defaults setting is “Fast”. This is the optimal
setting for the Mainboard. The other option is “Normal”.
Typematic Rate Setting: The default setting is “Disable”. If set to
“Enabled”, you can set the typematic Rate and typematic Delay.
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec): This setting controls the speed at
which the system registers repeated keystrokes. The choices range
from 6 to 30 Chars/Sec. The default setting is “6” Chars/Sec.
Typematic Delay (Msec): This setting controls the time between the
display of the first and second characters. There are four delay
choices: 250ms, 500ms, 750ms and 1000ms. The default setting is
“250” ms.
Security Option: This setting controls the password feature. The
options are “Setup” and “System”. Selecting “Setup” will protect the
configuration settings from being tampered with. Select “System” if
you want to use the password feature every time the system boots up.
The default setting is “Setup”. You can create your password by using
the “SUPERVISOR/USER PASSWORD” utility on the main pro-
gram screen.
