Boot Options
Enable/disable:
■
QuickBoot, which starts the notebook more
quickly by eliminating some startup tests. (If
you suspect a memory failure and want to test
memory automatically during startup, disable
QuickBoot.)
■
MultiBoot, which sets a startup sequence that
can include most bootable devices and media
in the system. For instructions, see Chapter 5,
“MultiBoot (Advanced Users Only).”
Device Options
■
Enable/disable Num lock mode at startup.
■
Enable/disable multiple standard pointing
devices at startup. (To set the notebook to
support only a single, usually nonstandard,
pointing device at startup, select Disable.)
■
Select a parallel port mode: EPP (Enhanced
Parallel Port), standard, bidirectional, or ECP
(Enhanced Capabilities Port).
