Setting The Fast Boot Option; Setting The System And Video Bios Options - Epson NX Service Manual

Setting the Fast Boot Option

Enabling the Fast boot option allows the power-on diagnostic testing to skip certain
system memory tests. The default is Disabled.

Setting the System and Video BIOS Options

The computer's shadow RAM feature copies the contents of the system and video BIOS
ROM (and any external BIOS ROM installed) into RAM so the computer can perform
certain operations faster.
The computer enables shadow RAM automatically. However, there are two SETUP options
to control the memory addresses the computer uses for shadow RAM: On-board
video BIOS location at and Shadow RAM areas.
The default setting of the video BIOS ROM is memory address C000h, which allows the
computer to use AT-compatible software. For PS/2-compatible software, change the
On-board video BIOS located at address to E000h.
To exclude certain portions of RAM (up to 12,16KB address areas) from being used for
areas, press the End key to go to the bottom of the options menu. Then
