Quick Power On Self Test
Select [Enabled] to reduce the amount of time required to run the power-on self-
test (POST). A quick POST skips certain steps. We recommend that you nor-
mally disable quick POST. Better to find a problem during POST than lose data
during your work.
Boot Up NumLock Status
This setting is to set the Num Lock status when the system is powered on.
Setting to [On] will turn on the Num Lock key when the system is powered on.
Setting to [Off] will allow users to use the arrow keys on the numeric keypad.
Gate A20 Option

[Normal] is selected, A20 is controlled by a keyboard controller or chipset
hardware.
