Typematic Rate (Char/Sec)
This field controls the speed at which the system registers repeated key-
strokes. Options range from 6 to 30 characters per second. Setup default
setting is 6.

Typematic Delay (Msec)
This field sets the time interval for displaying the first and second charac-
ters. Four delay rate options are available: 250ms, 500ms, 750ms and
1000ms. Setup default value is 250ms.

Security Option
This field determines when the system prompts for the password. The de-
fault setting is System, where the system prompts for the User Password
every time you boot up. The other option is Setup, where the system always
boots up, and prompts for the Supervisor Password only when the Setup
utility is called up. You can specify a password by using the Supervisor
Password
or User Password option from the main screen as explained later
in this section.

PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
Some display cards that are non-standard VGA such as graphics accelera-
tors or MPEG Video Cards may not show colors properly. The setting En-
abled
should correct this problem. Otherwise leave this on the setup default
setting of Disabled.

OS/2 Onboard Memory > 64M
When using OS/2 operating systems with installed DRAM of greater than
64MB, you need to Enable this option otherwise leave this on the setup
default of Disabled.

Video BIOS Shadow
This field allows you to change the video BIOS location from ROM to
RAM. Relocating to RAM enhances system performance, as information
access is faster than the ROM. Setup default setting is Enabled.

C8000-CBFFF to DC000-DFFFF
These fields are used for shadowing other expansion card ROMs. If you
install other expansion cards with ROMs on them, you will need to know
which addresses the ROMs use to shadow them specifically. Shadowing a
ROM reduces the memory available between 640KB and 1024KB by the
amount used for this purpose.
