BIOS Setup
Chipset Features Setup
The Chipset Features Setup option is used to change the values of the chipset registers.
These registers control most of the system options in the computer.
This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of the
installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system memory
resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It must be stated that these items
should not be altered. The default settings have been chosen because they provide the
best operating conditions for your system.
Integrated Peripherals
The Integrate Peripherals Setup allows the user to configure the onboard IDE controller,
floppy disk controller, the printer port and the serial ports.
Supervisor/User Password Setting
You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then. The differences
between are:
Supervisor Password : Yo u c a n e n t e r t h e S e t u p P r o g r a m a n d
change the options of the setup menus.
User Password : Yo u c a n e n t e r t h e S e t u p P r o g r a m b u t
cannot change the options of the setup menus.
When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center of the
screen to assist you in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press<Enter>. The new
password will clear the previously entered password from the CMOS memory . You will
be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You
may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and operate without a password.
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password.
A message will be displayed to confirm that the password is disabled.
PASSWORD DISABLED.
Once the password is disabled , the system will reset and you can enter the Setup
Program freely.
When a password is enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to
enter setup. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any setting of your
system configuration.
In addition, when a password is enabled, you can require the BIOS to request a
password every time your system is rebooted. This would further prevent unauthorized
use of your computer.
