This category speeds up Power On Self Test (POST) after you power on the computer. If it is set to Enabled,
BIOS will shorten or skip some check items during POST.

The settings are:
Floppy
The system will boot from floppy drive.
LS120
The system will boot from LS-120 drive.
HDD-0
The system will boot from the first HDD.

1st/2nd/3rd boot device.
S.M.A.R.T for Hard Disks
S.M.A.R.T is abbreviation of Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. It is reliable and precautious
technology. When Hard Disk disorder, it prevents Hard Disk from the loss of data.
Boot Up Num-Lock
This item is used to activate the Num-Lock function upon system boot. If the setting is on, after a boot, the
Num -Lock light is lit, and user can use the number key.
Floppy Drive Swap
The option reverses the drive letter assignments of your floppy disk drives in the Swap A, B setting, otherwise
leave on the setting of Disabled (No Swap). This works separately from the BIOS Features floppy dis k swap
feature. It is functionally the same as physically interchanging the connectors of the floppy disk drives. When
<Enabled>, the BIOS swapped floppy drive assignments so that Drive A becomes Drive B, and Drive B becomes
Drive A under DOS.
Floppy Drive Seek
If the
PS/2 Mouse Support
The setting of Enabled allows the system to detect a PS/2 mouse on boot up. If detected, IRQ12 will be used for
the PS/2 mouse. IRQ 12 will be reserved for expansion cards if a PS/2 mouse is not detected. Disabled will
reserve IRQ12 for expansion cards and therefore the PS/2 mouse will not function.
Primary Display
The option is used to set the type of video display card installed in the system.
Password Check
This option enables password checking every time the computer is powered on or every time the BIOS Setup is
executed. If Always is chosen, a user password prompt appears every time the computer is turned on. If Setup
is chosen, the password prompt appears if the BIOS executed.
