Reserving ISA legacy resources
To reserve interrupts and upper memory block (UMB) regions for
ISA expansion cards, go to the Advanced menu, select PCI
Configuration, then select PCI/PNP ISA IRQ Resource Exclusion
or PCI/PNP ISA UMB Region Exclusion as required.
Multi-boot facility
If you restart your computer and press the
ESC
key while the
Mitsubishi Electric logo is on the screen, a diagnostics screen
appears, followed by a menu similar to the following:
Boot Menu
1. Diskette Drive
2. Removable Devices
3. Hard Disk Drive
4. ATAPI CD-ROM Drive
5. Network Boot
< Enter Setup >
This menu can be used to temporarily use another drive or device to
boot your system, for example a bootable CD-ROM, without
having to enter BIOS Setup. Simply use the
UP
and
DOWN
arrows
to make a selection. The change is not permanent; the boot device
reverts to the normal setting the next time you turn on your
computer.
Power-on self-test
Recoverable POST errors
Whenever a recoverable (non-terminal) error occurs during POST,
the BIOS displays an error message describing the problem (the
most usual are described below). After some messages, you may be
prompted to
Press <F1> to resume, <F2> to enter Setup
or just
Press <F2> to enter Setup
.
