Security Option
This field allows you to limit access to the System and Setup. The default
value is Setup. When you select System, the system prompts for the User
Password every time you boot up. When you select Setup, the system
always boots up and prompts for the Supervisor Password only when the
Setup utility is called up.

APIC Mode
APIC stands for Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller. The
default setting is Enabled.

MPS Version Control for OS
This option is specifies the MPS (Multiprocessor Specification) version
for the OS. MPS version 1.4 added extended configuration tables to
improve support for multiple PCI bus configurations and improve future
expandability. The default setting is 1.4.

OS Select for DRAM > 64MB
This option allows the system to access greater than 64MB of DRAM
memory when used with OS/2 that depends on certain BIOS calls to
access memory. The default setting is Non-OS/2.

Report No FDD For WIN 95
If you are using Windows 95/98 without a floppy disk drive, select
Enabled to release IRQ6. This is required to pass Windows 95/98's SCT
test. You should also disable the Onboard FDC Controller in the
Integrated Peripherals screen when there's no floppy drive in the system.
If you set this feature to Disabled, the BIOS will not report the missing
floppy drive to Win95/98.

Small Logo (EPA) Show
The EPA logo appears at the right side of the monitor screen when the
system is boot up. The default setting is Disabled.
