Setting the Self Test (Halt On) Error Level

When you start your system, it performs a self test. The

Halt

On

option determines the point at which the system will

stop if it finds an error during the self test.

This option allows flexibility in your configuration. If your

computer is running without an external diskette drive or it

must always start, you can choose one of the options in the

following table to ensure the computer will boot.

Setting the Shadow RAM

Your computer can access RAM (random access memory) faster

than ROM (read only memory). The Shadow option allows

your system to copy the contents of its system BIOS and/or

video BIOS into RAM so it can perform certain operations

faster.

If you set this option to System & Video, your system

automatically enables shadow RAM for both the system BIOS

and the video BIOS. You may need to disable one or both

shadow options, however, if you install a device that locates its

RAM in one of these areas.
