BIOS SETUP
28
•
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” 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 a character repeats when you hold down a key) of “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 (“System”), or only when you enter “Setup”.
•
OS Select for DRAM > 64MB
Select “OS2” only if you are running the OS/2 operating system with more than 64 MB
of RAM in your system. Otherwise select “Non-OS2”.
•
Video BIOS Shadow
Select “Enabled” to change the video BIOS location form ROM to RAM, where the CPU
can read data through the 64-bit DRAM bus. This can enhance system performance.
•
C8000-DFFFF Shadow
You can shadow the ROM on other expansion cards by setting these fields. If you install
other expansion cards with ROMs, you need to know specifically which address the
ROMs use. Shadowing a ROM reduces the memory available between 640K and
1024K depending on the used amount.
•
Delay For HDD (Secs)
Default is “0”. You may need to increase the delay time for BIOS to detect the right type
of HDD for some older HDDs.
