BIOS SETUP

Boot Up Floppy Seek
When you select Enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to determine whether
they have 40 or 80 tracks. Only 360-KB floppy drives have 40 tracks; drives with 720KB,
1.2MB, and 1.44MB capacity all have 80 tracks. Because very few modern PCs have 40-
track floppy drives, we recommend that you set this field to Disabled to save time.
•
Boot Up NumLock Status
Toggle between On and Off to control the state of the NumLock key when the system
boots. When toggled On, the numeric keypad generates numbers instead of controlling
cursor operations.
•
Gate A20 Option
Choose Fast (default) or Normal. Fast allows RAM access above 1MB to use the fast
Gate A20 line.
•
Typematic Rate Setting
When this function is disabled, the following two items (Typematic Rate and Typematic
Delay) are irrelevant. Keystrokes repeat at a rate determined by the keyboard controller in
your system. When this function is enabled, you can select a typematic rate and typematic
delay.
•
Typematic Rate (Chars / Sec)
When the Typematic Rate setting is enabled, you can select a typematic rate (the rate at
which character repeats) 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24 or 30 characters per second.
•
Typematic Delay (Msec)
When the Typematic Delay setting is enabled, you can select a typematic delay (the delay
before key strokes begin to repeat) of 250, 500, 750 or 1000 milliseconds.
•
Security Option
If you have set a password, you can select whether the password is required while the system
boots, or only when you enter Setup.
•
OS Select for DRAM > 64MB
Select OS2 only if you are running OS/2 operating system with more than 64 MB of RAM on
your system.
