HP/NBA BIOS Summary
Boot Menu
The QuickBoot Mode option allows the system to skip certain tests while
booting. This decreases the time needed to boot the system
. From this
menu, you can also display the option ROM messages. Enabling this option
is recommended when installing an accessory card. It can be disabled when
accessory card installation has been completed.
If both AGP and PCI video cards are installed, use the setting to select which
will be used as a boot display device. If only one video card is installed, the
setting is not used.
Select the order of the devices from which you want the BIOS to attempt to
boot the operating system. During POST, if the BIOS is unsuccessful at
booting from one device, it will then try the next one on the Boot Device
Priority list until an operating system is found.
Power Menu
This menu allows you to set the standby delay and suspend delay. Standby
mode slows down the processor, while the suspend mode saves a maximum
of energy. Both these options are only available with Windows 95. For other
operating systems, Windows 98 and Windows 2000, use the control panel for
similar options
Modem ring enables or disables the system to return to full speed when an
IRQ is generated. Network interface enables or disables the system to return
to full speed when a specific command is received by the network interface.
