Setup Menus
Read the following descriptions for an explanation of each item that appears in the Setup
menus, as listed in the preceding table.
Main
Use the Main Setup screen to check or modify your basic system settings. Some fields are
read-only fields that simply display current information.
Time and Date — let you adjust your system date and time.
Diskette A — displays the diskette drive type installed in your system.
IDE Adapter 0 Master and IDE Adapter 1 Master — shows your current hard disk
capacity. Submenus to these two fields let you specify another drive type, define
multi-sector transfer rates, specify LBA mode control, enable or disable 32-bit I/O,
and define transfer mode.
Boot sequence — allows you to specify if POST error messages appear at boot up,
what the boot sequence should be, and whether or not the system checks your disk-
ette drive type. (Disabling the floppy check speeds up boot time.)
Keyboard — lets you specify the country keyboard to use, define if NumLock is on
or off at boot up, enable keyclick, and define auto-repeat and delay rates.
Touchpad settings — allows you to disable the built in touchpad when attaching an
external PS/2-style mouse.
Display features — gives you the chance to define your display type, the text ex-
pansion mode, and the graphics expansion mode for better viewing.
System information — displays information about your system, including the ver-
sion of BIOS loaded, total RAM installed, CPU type, Cache RAM, parallel port
status, and amount of battery charge remaining.
Advanced
Advanced lets you define specific input/output addresses, audio settings, and channel
numbers. Only change the settings in this section if you are very familiar with the way that
a system uses its resources. Making incorrect setting decision in this menu can cause your
system to malfunction.
