Asus P55SP4 - Manual (Page 39)

P/I-P55SP4 User's Manual
The default "Boot Up NumLock Status" setting is "On". When
the computer boots, the numbers on the numeric keypad of an IBM-
compatible extended keyboard will be active. If you turn this off the
keypad cursor controls will be active.
"Boot Up System Speed" sets the CPU speed at boot up. The de­
fault setting is "High".
IDE Block Mode
The "IDE HDD Block Mode" default setting is "Enabled". This
feature enhances hard disk performance by making multi-sector
transfers instead of one sector per transfer. Most ГОЕ drives, except
very early designs, can use this feature.
Keyboard Interface
The "Typematic Rate Setting" default setting is "Disabled". If
enabled, you can set the typematic controls that follow.
The "Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)" controls the speed at which
the system registers repeated keystrokes. The choices range from 6
to 30 characters per second (default is 6).
The "Typematic Delay (Msec)" controls the time between the
display of the first and second characters. There are four delay rate
choices: 250ms, 500ms, 750ms and 1000ms (default is 250ms).
Security Option Password Control
The "Security Option" controls the Password Setting in the main
screen. The default setting, "System", uses the User Password feature
every time you boot up. The other setting is "Setup". This uses the
Supervisor Pcissword only to protect the Setup Utility settings. You
create a password by using the Supervisor or User Password com­
mand from the main screen as explained later in this chapter.
