Quick Power On Self Test

When set to [Enabled], this item speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) after powering on
the system. The BIOS shorten or skip some check during the POST.

Hard Disk Boot Priority

This item selects the hard disks booting priority. By pressing key, you can enter its
submenu where the hard disks detected can be selected for the booting sequence to boot up
system.

This item functions only when there is the option of [Hard Disk] in any one of the
First/Second/Third Boot Device items.

First Boot Device / Second Boot Device / Third Boot Device / Boot Other Device

Select the drive to boot first, second and third in the [First Boot Device], [Second Boot Device],
and [Third Boot Device] items respectively. The BIOS will boot the operating system according
to the sequence of the drive selected. Set [Boot Other Device] to [Enabled] if you wish to boot
from another device other than these three items.

Boot Up Floppy Seek

When the computer boots up, the BIOS detects if the system has a FDD or not. When this item
is set to Enabled, if the BIOS detects no floppy drive, it will display a floppy disk drive error
message. If this item is disabled, the BIOS will skip this test. The default setting is Disabled.
