Default setting: Enabled
Fn Key
Emulation
This field lets you use the key on an external PS/2 keyboard the same way you use the key on the computer's internal
keyboard. Use the check box to enable/disable this feature.
USB keyboards cannot emulate the key if you are running an ACPI operating system such as Microsoft® Windows® XP. USB
keyboards will only emulate the key in non-ACPI mode (e.g., when you are running in DOS).
Default setting: Enabled
Fast Boot
This field can speed up the boot process by bypassing some compatibility steps.
l Minimal — Boot quickly unless the BIOS has been updated, memory changed, or the previous POST did not complete.
l Thorough — Do not skip any steps in the boot process.
l Auto — Allow the operating system to control this setting (this works only when the operating system supports Simple Boot Flag).
Default setting: Minimal

Tag
This field displays your system's Service Tag. If for some reason the Service Tag was not already set, you would be able to use this field to set
it.
If a Service Tag has not been set for this system, the computer will automatically bring up this screen when users enter the BIOS. You will be
prompted to enter the Service Tag.
Asset Tag This field allows you to create a system Asset Tag. The field can only be updated if the Asset Tag is not already set.
