Quick Power On Self Test
When enabled, this field speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) after the system
is turned on. If it is set to Enabled, BIOS will skip some items.
First/Second/Third Boot Device
These fields determine the drive that the system searches first for an operating
system. The options available include Floppy, LS120, Hard Disk, CDROM, ZIP100,
USB-Floppy, USB-ZIP, USB-CDROM, LAN and Disable.
Boot Other Device
These fields allow the system to search for an OS from other devices other than the
ones selected in the First/Second/Third Boot Device.
Boot Up NumLock Status
This allows you to activate the NumLock function after you power up the system.
Gate A20 Option
This field allows you to select how Gate A20 is worked. Gate A20 is a device used
to address memory above 1 MB.
Typematic Rate Setting
When disabled, continually holding down a key on your keyboard will generate only
one instance. When enabled, you can set the two typematic controls listed next. By
default, this field is set to Disabled.
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
When the typematic rate is enabled, the system registers repeated keystrokes
speeds. Settings are from 6 to 30 characters per second.
Typematic Delay (Msec)
When the typematic rate is enabled, this item allows you to set the time interval for
displaying the first and second characters. By default, this item is set to 250msec.
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.
