Auto Detect PCI Clk (Enabled)
When this item is enabled, BIOS will disable the clock signal of free DIMM and

Magnetic Interference) generated by the system.

Load Fail-Safe Defaults Option

This option opens a dialog box that lets you install fail-safe defaults for all ap-
propriate items in the Setup Utility:
Press <Y> and then <Enter> to install the defaults. Press <N> and then <En-
ter> to not install the defaults. The fail-safe defaults place no great demands
on the system and are generally stable. If your system is not functioning cor-
rectly, try installing the fail-safe defaults as a first step in getting your system
working properly again. If you only want to install fail-safe defaults for a spe-
cific option, select and display that option, and then press <F6>.

Load Optimized Defaults Option

This option opens a dialog box that lets you install optimized defaults for all
appropriate items in the Setup Utility. Press <Y> and then <Enter> to install
the defaults. Press <N> and then <Enter> to not install the defaults. The opti-
mized defaults place demands on the system that may be greater than the
performance level of the components, such as the CPU and the memory. You
can cause fatal errors or instability if you install the optimized defaults when
your hardware does not support them. If you only want to install setup defaults
for a specific option, select and display that option, and then press <F7>.

Set Supervisor/User Password

When this function is selected, the following message appears at the center of
the screen to assist you in creating a password.
Type the password, up to eight characters, and press <Enter>. The password
typed now will clear any previously entered password from CMOS memory.
You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the password again and
press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection.
To disable password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter
