[. . . ] If the Quick power on self test feature is Enable, the BIOS will simplify the test procedures in order to speed up the boot process. The default is Enable. Boot Sequence: When the computer boots up, it can load the operating system from floppy drive A:, hard disk drive C:, SCSI disk drive or CD-ROM. There are many options for the boot sequence: OE A, C, SCSI · C, A, SCSI Z C, CD-ROM, A · CD-ROM, C, A · D, A, SCSI (at least 2 IDE HDD can be used) ` E, A, SCSI (at least 3 IDE HDD can be used) ' F, A, SCSI (at least 4 IDE HDD can be used) " SCSI, A, C " SCSI, C, A Swap Floppy Drive: This item can be set as Enable or Disable. When this feature is enabled, you don' need to open the computer case to t swap the position of floppy disk drive connectors. Drive A: can be set as drive B:, and drive B: can be set as drive A:. Introduction of BIOS 3-15 Boot Up Floppy Seek: When computer boots up, the BIOS detects if the system has FDD or not. When this item is enabled, if the BIOS detects no floppy drive, it will display a floppy disk drive error message. If this item is disabled, the BIOS will skip this test. Boot Up NumLock Status: ä On: At boot up, the Numeric Keypad is in numeric mode. ä Off: At boot up, the Numeric Keypad is in cursor control mode. IDE HDD Block Mode: This item can be set as Enable or Disable. Most of new hard disk drives (IDE drives) support multi-sector transfers. This feature speeds up hard disk drive access performance and reduces the time necessary to access data. When this item is enabled, the BIOS will automatically detect if your hard disk drive supports this feature or not, and will choose the right settings for you. 2 For further details about hard disk drive installation, refer to appendix E. Typematic Rate Setting: This item allows you to adjust the keystroke repeat rate. When enabled, you can set the two keyboard typematic control that follow (Typematic Rate and Typematic Rate Delay). If this item is disabled, the BIOS will use the default setting. Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec): When you press a key continuously, the keyboard will repeat the keystroke according to the rate you have set. (Unit: characters/second¡^ Typematic Rate Delay (Msec): When you press a key continuously, if you exceed the delay you have set here, the keyboard will automatically repeat the keystroke according a certain rate. (Unit: milliseconds) 3-16 Chapter 3 Security Option: This option can be set to System or to Setup. After you have created a password through PASSWORD SETTING, this option will deny access to your system (System) or modification of computer setup (BIOS Setup) by unauthorized users. ä SYSTEM: When you choose System, a password is required each time the computer boots up. ä SETUP: When you choose Setup, a password is required only when accessing the BIOS Setup. If you have not set a password in the PASSWORD SETTING option, this option is not available. If you forget the password, you will t have to open the computer case and clear all information in the CMOS before you can start up the system. But doing this, you have to reset all the options you had set up before. PCI /VGA Palette Snoop: This option allows the BIOS to preview VGA Status, and to modify the information delivered from the Feature Connector of the VGA card to the MPEG Card.
